LOL. Glad those old pics were able to help you out. Post some pics when you get a chance. Did you see how all the holes and cut outs were already marked on the back of the stock bumper?

Installed mine the other night with only 3m tape. That didn't work too well as the exhaust openings from the kit and bumper were fighting each other. I also had small gaps around the bends and where the rear lip terminates near the wheel, that piece would stick out. I decided to take the bumper off and cut the exhaust openings and drilled 6 holes for the bolts and nuts in the back. I also added some more 3m tape and it sits flush now.

What was used to cut/drill into the bumper? Trying to see if I can do this myself or just get a shop to install the rear lip.
Also, it seems that if you do cut into the bumper, the lip sits higher on the bumper creating a bigger gap between the lip and the top of the exhaust tip. If you dont cut into the bumper then it will sit lower. Is that correct?

Nope, not the case as the upper GFX rear opening is smaller than the width of the rear bumper, so you can't put it higher, therefore it sits pretty much the same height with or without cutting the bumper.
