I put a drift kit on my 99 cavy,and the back bumper hangs down between the trunk n the top of the bumper, so theres this gap in between. If anyone has any idea how to fix it let me no.

Brackets Should've Came With Your Rear Bumper You Bolt Them On And The Bumper Rests On Them And It Holds It In Place.

first bondo is trash. dont use it. is the bumper fiberglass or urethane? Depanding on the quality of the kit you might have to fab up some brackets to help the bumper sit better.

I have an 02 cavalier and I just recently put a street fighter kit on(kato combat) and I have the same gap that you are talkin about. Where did you buy the kit from??

I put a street fighter kit on my 98 from andy's auto sport( I don't suggest this company) what you need to do to close the gap is go down to your local sheetmetal shop and get them to fold you a peice of angle iron approx. 3''X2" (this size worked for mine) and screw it in place below your trunk lid. Then reinstall your rear bumper using this as your starting point, be carefull moulding it around if your kit is fiberglass, this is the only way
