So i did this mod about 3 months ago and I decided I got over it and i took out the screws taht I drilled into the aluminum bar. And the rear flap only came down an extra 1 or 2 from when it had the screws in. ANy suggestions on how to get it looking back like stock? ANy help appreciated

Why do you want to remove it. It looks good. But you could make a couple of brackets that would connect to the Aluminum bar and push it down.

Idk i still think it looks badass but I just over it. I dont' think I can pull of the look anyway. I jsut got amuse sides so the sides of the car are lower and teh rear bumper is realyl high and the tuck makes it look even more uneven. I need to get a rear bumper that extends lower or I can leave the tuck and slam my car but then i can't drive it cause of California's terrible streets.
