Left side of the rear fascia is bowed out - right side is ok. Anyone has this issue with their car? Perhaps heat gun to assist in manipulation?

HA! It's been like that since I acquired it - was in a garage in OK/TX for 20 years. The front fascia is great and minimal eyebrows when I got it which have been remedied.

you can take the light out and loosen the three nuts that hold the side of it tight and try to move it in a bit. but yeah a heat gun carefully will help also...

Heat gun treatment did not provide much, if any, help at all. While the tail lights are out for polishing I'll be replacing all 6 mounting nuts and washers.

A lot to remove in order to get to it, but you might try changing the quarter panel's arc by bending its bracket. Worked for us.

Fixed. Missing hardware was the culprit. Replaced all 6 nuts with new SS pieces - gaps have been closed.
