I know what you mean about catching airflow, the middle is starting to bend back a little because of the wind it catches. I might have to screw it in. besides I have the single greddy and bringing it down in the future would look dumb with a single exhaust.

I debated on doing this myself. I think I'll do as well. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Thanks Spork.

I don't have to worry about the paint cracking anymore do I?

It's perfect right now, but will it crack when the weather gets really cold? Or will I be fine.

Thanks!

Pretty simple. I had the jack holding the right side against the bumper support just so I didn't have to hold the whole thing up.

Drilled 4 - 7/64" holes through the bumper and through the bumper support in one shot.

Screwed two of the bolts in, then removed the jack and drilled the 7/64" holes on the side where the jack was.

Then, I just finished screwing in the rest of the bolts and tightened them all down.




These are the screws/bolts I used. Ignore the red heads, I ran out and grabbed one quick and it happened to be red.

Gotta see if I can polish out the color changing a little. Looks like it has poop-stained shorts.

Like how far from the edge did I screw in?

It's hard to say... I'll go out once I'm done eating and I'll get you some measurements. I just aimed to get as close to the edge of the bumper support as I could.

Middle of screw to bottom edge of bumper flap.


Side of exhaust hole to first screw.


Distance from first screw to right-middle screw. Same measurements from the other side.
