Looks alright, could use some more screws, it appears to be sagging in the middle. A relief cut on the backside of the bumper would yield a straighter line

The center portion of the rear bumper between the exhaust openings was pulled or folded up so it doesn't come in contact with the HKS exhaust tips.

yeah I need to fix the middle sag a bit.

There not much to DIY on this... I didn't take a picture of the underside

but here's a pic of the underside of the Z.. it's basically the same thing...
Once you look at the underside, you'll understand the picture..


Here's a G without the fold (you can see mine is more exposed and I didn't even take the picture at a low angle):

I honestly would never tell the difference unless you pointed it out. But it's cool.

I think it's pathetic how so many coupe owners can't even tell the difference by just looking at the first pic...
