Default Folding center section of OEM rear bumper (single exhaust)
I know I have seen pics of this before but I searched and couldn't find them. If possible, please post up pics and a DIY how you did this. For those who may be confused what I am talking about, this is a way to eliminate the awkward look of 2 exhaust cut-outs with a single exhaust.

That looks hot. Would show off a Nismo diff cover and GTspec lower tie bar really well, too...

Here are the instructions:

you will jack up the car (rear), put the jack stands on...

you will then lay on the floor and unclip the factory rear bumper clips tight where you wanna bend it up there are two clips....

you will use your left arm to bend up the middle section and with your right and a screw attached to the tip of your drill, screw it to the rear aluminum reinforcement bar.

follow the last step a couple of times (screws)... then undo all the other steps... and you are done.

That's why you get a nice swaybar, Nismo diff cover, GTspec lower tie bar and nice shiny exhaust to show off under there! Very race car chic!
