Its a pretty easy mod, as long as your not on a uphill slope. All I did was unscrew the white plastic pieces on each side, and screwed the bottom hole to the top. I didn't even touch the middle of the bumper. That tiny sag makes it look more natural.

I had to dremel the holes a bit bigger, but these work PERFECTLY! They're flush, rust proof, they won't slip over time like a screw may, and are easy to install/remove. I have four of them holding the bumper up now.

Do you guys like the way the hks shows with this mod? I think it looks better to show off under her skirt a little more, but not sure if my hks will look better or worse. Any advice?

Easy mod took 15 minutes, you just tuck the bumper cover to the aluminum crush panel or whatever you call it. Heres another pic of mine, i did it earlier today.
Tools req:
offset or really long phillips screwdriver
drill w/small bit(s) to make pilot holes with
4 self tapping screws
ratchet 3/8 w/extension 11mm socket
safety glasses
Here are the instructions I used.
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.

the aluminum bar you're talking about, is that the same bar that is behind the front bumper of the car, just in the rear that you are screwing into?
350, did you roll the car up on that wood, then use a floor jack to prop the rear bumper up into position? Then you just drilled thru the bumper into the aluminum bar and said wallah?
