Did mine yesterday using 3M double sided tape and a jack with a block on top until the tape set. After the tuck I polished my exhaust.

Main reason why i havent tucked my bumper yet. Once my exhaust was installed the passenger side one rubbed the corner of my bumper hopefully this pic helps. Not sure how this can be corrected.

I did exactly that about a month ago lol. 2 x 4, jack, and two microfibers. The double-sided tape held 2-3 weeks then the bumper came "untucked" haha.

I guess I'll have to wait and see. My buddy Chris did his about three weeks ago and his still holding up. We both used two rows of 7/8 inch wide 3M molding tape. We also kept the bumper cover jacked up for about fifteen minutes before letting it down in hopes that the adhesive would set up.

x2 3m works great. Probably the cheapest, easiest and best looking mod you can do to the rear of your Z.

I used the same stuff but only 1 row. Left it jacked about an hour to set.

im in the same boat, except my muffler looks like its crooked, but its not dented at all, the only other thing that bother me besides it being crooked is that at some point i ran over something and now i have a black chunk of something that is burned onto the passenger side pipe.

The best strength tape out there is the 3M VHB tape (very high bond).
Follow directions very closely....once on it's on!
