looks like everything is back in spec besides the rear camber, which is close to spec... i have no idea what the red dashes are at the top of the pic though.

It'll just wear the tires a little more on the insides, shouldn't be too bad since your toe is in spec and that's what kills tires most. I run -5.8 degrees on my Miata so you should be fine with that amount of camber.

Toe doesn't kill tires, camber does. But you'll be fine for wear. Being a point of a degree or two off from spec won't kill you, just make sure to rotate your tires. Also the fact that all the other measurements are green shows that you are within spec. Each alignment is car specific, meaning they load your vehicle into the computer then go off specs from their measurements. And if you really feel worried about it, buy a rear camber kit for 20 bucks.

It'd been nice to see the specs before the corrections to know what he fixed or didn't attempt to. The red dashes I guess would be for caster, which has no adjustment on our cars. Only thing out of spec is the rear camber all else is in tolerance. The closer to 0 the toe is the better you are with wear, yes negative camber does add to wear, but toe intensifies it. Make sure to rotate the tires every 5,000 miles as mentioned in the owner's manual and you shouldn't have an problems.
