A closer look in the rear trunk and a shim is spotted in between the rear quarter panel and the body of the car. Fucking Seriously? LOL It's also pretty obvious that the bolt next to it has been turned.

A look at the rear trunk lid and we can see that the bolts for the latch are very obviously not OEM.

A closer look at the VIN number in the door jam reveals overspray around the OEM VIN sticker.

A rusty screw on the door latch. Evidence that it has been turned.

A look inside the gas lid and more rusty screws are seen. This part has also been removed.

When we closed the gas lid we noticed it rubbed the body panel of the car. As you can see in this pic it isn't centered.
