Default trunk isnt fitting right

so. i have a 99 civic si (em1) with a cracked tail light, backed into a mailbox.

bought n painted the bumper.
bought n painted to metal thing under the light,
what do you think the problem is that's making the trunk un-even?

any ideas? help?

did you back into the mailbox doing 50mph?

If something is so deformed your trunk isn't lining up, the problem should be fairly obvious, look for a big crease/dent in the sheet metal.
