Hmm okay. Ill take a look at the right side again. Last time I tried I couldn't get access to the bolts. Ill look harder.

I got a chance to try and fit it. I need to re do it though because I couldn't get the tape to stick consistently. Ill try again when its warmer out, it was 45 degrees so Im guessing that was part of the reason. Good news is though that my exhaust tips are in perfect position and didn't touch.

To each their own but carbon fiber on a red car looks amazing to me and many others.

You need to hit the bumper with 90% IPA, particularly on any area that will be bonding the tape. Go over it several times to remove everything---dirt, wax/sealant, all of it. Then try again with the tape.

It looked good when it was on but the tape job was bugging me so I took it off lol.

The temperature is likely the culprit, the adhesive won't adhere well when it's cool out. Somewhere on the package it'll probably say to only use it above 65-70 degrees or something.

Yeah, I was being optimistic when I put it on. I live in Colorado and we had a blizzard last week. It was around 55 out on Sunday but guess it wasn't warm enough.

looks great. I want to buy one after you have given us the "all clear".
The CF wont melt? It's ok if there is minimal clearance between the tips and the diffuser?

You'll see Evos, STI's and RX7's running a carbon fiber "ring" around their bumper cutout for the muffler for that reason.
It may discolor over time though.
