It can be done cuss the TS diffuser bolts up high but it is not worth it cuss the diffuser covers that entire section.

Default Where is the big post for the rear bumper tuck mod?

I have been searching for an hour trying to find the post on where they show you how to do this properly. My friend was interested in doing it and I wanted to send him the link. Can anyone assist me here?

Thank you!

Default rear bumper tuck! finally did it! PICS inside

Well, I did it and like it. Looks good, didn't take too long, and I got pics! Sorry for the blurry ones, but my arms and abs were getting tired. I've been busy the last couple of days doing projects around the house.

The Z has been sitting on jack stands for months, so I figured now is a good time to prepare for the single exhaust setup.

First, I took off the heat shield. Now you see it:

Now you don't:

I measured the section and decided to space out the left and right screws 4" away from the edge of the cutout. Then I figured there would be 3 sections between those 2 screws, which measured 17" so I spaced the other 2 screws 5-3/8" from left to right.

Tools you should have on standby are:

Small needle nose pliers for the plastic snap-in screws
Flathead and phillips screwdrivers
Battery powered screwdriver It came in handy

And the final product!

Actually, I'm still shopping for one. Got some resonated test pipes in the garage, a Gruppe S y-pipe on the way, and am thinking of the Greddy Ti-C to complete it.

Also contemplating getting the Nismo diff cover.

Well, here's a pic from last November when I stored it away for the winter. I think it will look good once I put that new exhaust on.

Greddy Ti-C is great has a nice angled look to it update us with pics when you get it installed.
