I got a High End Motorsport Camaro RS license plate for my new 2012 Camaro 2LT/RS. I screwed it all the way in and the plate is a bit bent outward where the Camaro rear end bends. I also plopped in the screwcaps for it. Is this normal? The bumper also bent a little when i pressed them in.

Is this normal? I was pressing the license plate frame screwcaps and the bumper was bending as I pressed it harder to snap into place. The license plate is also a bit bent out too. Is this from the way the license plate area on the bumper is bent?

Pics? It would help if we could see how it's bent. How hard did you screw it in?

The bumper itself only bent like plastic would and came back to normal. The license plate is a bit warped outward. I screwed it in enough so that the screw is slightly firm to turn.

Mk, well I wouldn't worry about the bumper, but if you're worried about the license plate you could take it off and try bending it back in place.

The bumper didn't break or anything, but I never knew it was THAT flexible.
I hope there isn't damage or anything bad....
