1) Use a floor jack with a towel/rag on top and lift the middle "flap" until it's pressed against the bottom of the aluminum bar

2) Get a drill w/ small bit and drill holes (anywhere you want) upwards from the flap through the bar

3) Put self-tapping screw through holes

4) It's free, minus the cost of screws and electricity for drill/Dremel

*It's ugly with OEM. The OEM exhaust is big and flat black.

A jack isn't "needed," no. But using a floor jack helps fold the bumper much higher and more even. If you note, some bumpers have a droop or dip in the middle. Using a floor jack keeps it nice and even and also affords more time/comfort to place the screws more evenly, etc.

HKS TI by far looks the best. Not fond of the single exhaust with the bumper mod

I agree. I never loved the bumper tuck, but once I got my HKS on I HAD to show it off I love the look of the rolled rear now.
