I agree the shape of the arches is incorrect. It isn't by much but enough. These usually bulge when hit in the back end and the curvature changes. I am sure if I had access to the car and took some measurements it would be quite apparent.

This picture also says so much. The side quarters are pushed in considerably the gaps are all wrong. The inside of the side lights should line up with the lines in the bumper pieces. I would guess if you tried to mount the rear lid on another car it was ground down to fit the opening which is reduced and bends inward towards the tail lights. The line should be straight down the back to the lights. I see this cheap fix a lot. Make the good parts fit instead of correcting the problem. LOL
