lolzz. Thats weird. But yes, it does feel awkward having to push the rear bumper up that high. I did mine when the weather was pretty hot, so I didnt need a hair dryer. Try it on a hot day with a hair dryer then, hope that helps.

Went back and did the bumper tuck with zip ties so that it would be tucked but not tucked so far in that it would create more cracks.
Pretty sad to know i could have avoided the cracks if I used the zip tie method to being with

Some old man rear ended me this morning. I will see how much damage was done under the bumper, maybe it's time to look for an aftermarket bumper.

lol, at least you can see some humor in it, always makes life a little be easier.
After seeing the first damaged pic I thought you backed into something because of posting this in the DIY section.
GL with the repair.

That chargespeed with the cf diffuser does look real nice, that was the first one I thought about. Getting my car looked a tomorrow.

Came in here like where you living under a rock. Then saw the "MOD" LOL and LMAO. Interjecting some humor in an otherwise shatty scenario. Good stuff hope it works out.
