My only concern is going to be the back corners, but I am going to be playing with the tips shortly to get them to sit a little bit lower because currently they are jammed up into the rear bumper. So that will help space it out a bit more. That being said the tips being jammed up against the rear bumper hasnt seemed to done any serious damage to it. Other than being indented the bumper hasnt melted or anything so I don't think the exhaust tips get too too hot. We will see. This is a first for me so we'll see and I'll learn. I wanted ABS to give me flex without bending and creasing like metal would.Finished it up and got it installed today. Came out great!All bolted together<img src="https://i.imgur.com/NgfoxSG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/OueqBga.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Final test fit before paint<img src="https://i.imgur.com/EjaHGo9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/15wZfkb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Unfortunately these bolts on the side fins won't clear the exhaust tips, lets fix that..<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HMdqvkX.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Ground down the ends of the bolts<img src="https://i.imgur.com/mUWseIB.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Painted hardware<img src="https://i.imgur.com/O7vp5Ik.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Final install<img src="https://i.imgur.com/i1UvPGF.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/OuA6m6o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I used the fuel filler neck bracket bolt to hold one of the straps in place, the bracket was already bent up before I touched it, but I guess I moved it around enough to push the filler neck around enough to make the gasket finally let go, however I did not notice this until I went to the gas station to fill up and started to hear gas pour onto the ground after putting about 15 gallons in... <img src="https://i.imgur.com/cU6xKlA.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And of course gas made its way onto the diffuser...<img src="https://i.imgur.com/yegmFU1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Should be able to spray the end fin matte black and make it look fine.. but first I am gonna have to replace that gasket... yay. Always something.</blockquote>
