Either way it's going to show off your muffler assm. which IMO means more bling, thats like a free exterior mod.

I did it today for a few moments, as I was changing my oil I unsnapped that 2 clips and held it up with my hands and BLING there it was, yes it looked pretty damn good. I'll probably secure it when I get back from HIN Sun.

Looks like a revolution has been started. My JIC single should be here next week and I'll get some pics up when it's done.

i haven't bent mine back to stock, so i don't know. As far as marks, if you screw the bumper in, you will have the holes obviously. I didn't screw mine, just used the same mounting points the bumper already has but raised it higher.

Good luck.
