Did you cut or remove the exhaust heat shield? It looks way cleaner this way with the mufflers visible.

Looks great, this mod is really catching on. I added the Lebren light and rear aero flares today to complete the look

Looks really good with the Lebren Light, if I still has the OEM bumper I would add if for sure.

Yup! I was told the tail lights are one of the few OEM parts on the car. The water inside kinda proves it, no?

Must say, the HD gutter screen looks really good. It also has to be light compared to the metal mesh that I have. Although mine has a nice clear hole and grommet for the tow hook. I will have to picture it properly for everyone to see.

I have a role of the screen at home. I'm still not sure not to attach it to the bumper though.

instead of cutting the heat shield, cant you just bend it up?

I tried to bend mine but it was too difficult since there are creases in the metal running perpendicular to the bending angle. Cutting was easy enough. I just used an old pair of scissors and worked little by little
