I received the TRD Rear Splits about a week ago and I tried installing them. I noticed that it's a bit too long? Like it doesn't sit flush? It makes me wander if the hatchback models had a longer rear end? I have a liftback model. Does anyone have any idea why it's like that? The parts are genuine btw.

That or keep them in the car and if you see a coupe just test fit it on the spot.
 It has to be they're the coupe ones. Even with a little deformation from age they wouldn't be that far off.

It shouldn't be this off if it was for the liftbacks. I would like to test fit these on another coupe. Hoping there'll be a coupe at the upcoming meet and they'll let me test fit them on their car. Here are photos of mine: The right side is pretty far off:   The left side was the exact same until I got the two screws into the mounting points for the OEM mudflaps:
