Smile Veilside Ver.1 Bodykit

I decided after looking through the threads to go with this kit.. I found it for $969 shipped so I decided to go for it. I decided against a knockoff even though it would have been cheaper.. I know the issue with these urethane kits can have some issues with the exhaust getting too hot and melting the back bumper. My questions is does anyone have this kit installed? and what did they do to keep the bumper from melting? I was thinking about some heat shield around the exhaust tips would be easiest.. the only issue is making it look good. If anyone has some advice let me know.. thanks!

If you have the stock exhaust , you'll be fine. The ones that have , had issues are the ones without the stock. They sell what is called a exhaust finisher that you could maybe shape like I did with mine. Ace hardware also sells aluminuim that you could shape , to. Just to be on the safe side.
