WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRS TODAY? - Page 826 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

plynnjr92 · 08-03-2015, 01:26 PM

Left her at home and took the motorcycle to work. Embarrassed to drive my 3 week old car with driver side rear bumper sag and partially melted diffuser cover. So in a week I'm buying an APR diffuser cover and try to fix the bumper

How did you manage that?

I like that mounting placement. What's the setup?

oh gawd... its uh.. a $4.99 " Phone mount" I found at Target in a clearance bin back in electronics.. it just clips on the vent blades..

Truthfully, its kinda a pain in the ass as it covers the volume knob on the head unit but it works I suppose.

I try to remember to get a picture of the clip next time I go out for ya.

Move it to the right vent. I have the same mount.

The top half of the image is from hot glue-gunning the tow hook clip back on. Muffler delete redirected exhaust gases behind the bumper and warped the diffuser cover.

What the?! What muffler delete were you running?! Remove your bumper and realign it?

I just straight took the oem muffler off and left it that way. But the exhaust pipe points upward at an angle, shoulda known it'd melt the clip off. Yeah I'll try to remove the bumper completely and try to salvage it, but I have plans to completely replace it if needed. Yes it'd be expensive, but that's the benefit of having a good job and living with my folks I guess..
