Default Undo a bumper tuck?

Have any of you guys taken off the rear bumper center piece after doing a bumper tuck? The rear just looks waaaaayy to high with the tuck. It looked good with my hks single, but im thinking of getting a ts diffuser, and i would need to undo the tuck anyways. Wondering if anyone has done it and what did it look like? I used 3m tape to hold it up, so how hard would it be for me to undo it? Thanks.

I've never seen the Amuse rear tucked that I could recall but I think it would look pretty cool.

^^+1, what he said. Or all you got to do, is go under the car from the rear, take out the tabs, and apply 3m tape and press the flap up. It will stay there

If you google it it'll come up...but I'll give you a quick rundown because I did this myself with my HKS.

Look under your bumper and you'll see two white clips. I uncliped these and turned them upside down. The bumper is pretty flexible so all you do is have a friend lay under the car with you and push the bumper up, holding it against the bottom of the car. Then you basically evenly place 4 self-tapping screws with washers through the bumper, drilling it into the car itself. A

And you're done! Takes about 5-10 minutes

if you just look under the car it'll make more sense to you. I didn't have to drill any hole or have to tape anything. there's actually two holes above the ones that hold the bumper in it's normal place. Just bought some bigger screws, took off the white clips, held up the bumper and screwed it into the upper holes.
