Ok umm.. did any of you guys buy a rear license plate frame for your car thinking it'd fit easily, when in fact it doesn't?

I got this for my car, and basically, it's too tall for it to look right.

When mounted on my license plate, the edge of the license plate frame goes for almost another inch or so further than the license plate itself. When mounting it on my car, the frame wouldn't go on unless we pushed down some on the rear bumper.

That's how it's sitting right now, but I don't want to leave it like that. Did any of you have similar issues?

Not singling you out Jeff, but I noticed yours has a similar looking one than what I bought, it works fine?

Both your front and rear bumper mounts are slotted.... however by adjusting the bumpers down you introduce a gap in the body and the bumper. Not that our cars came from detroit with beautifully aligned panels (take the top of the hatchback for example) but if the gap is too large it can ruin the looks of the car.
