It's really very simple once you understand how to do it. If anyone needs help, PM me.

For those of you with the rear valence part#32025847, how wide across does the exhaust cutout measure? I think this is going to be my next enhancement to my car. I already have an aftermarket rear muffler, so if I went the exposed tip route I would have to buy a new tip and re-jig the fitment of the exhaust.

It's very easy to do once you understand how the part fits. Just take it slow and you will have no problems.

Ok, so finally got a break in the weather and a chance to get this fitted.

Thought it might be of interest to see the effect on a Snow Silver car

This is what happens when you think to yourself that you shoulda bought an Aero or a TX.

(P.S. That BSR badge clearly adds 4hp at the wheels, y'all should look into it.)

Where did you get that part? I am looking myself to do this.
