I started before I found this thread but it was nice to have confirmation that I was going about it the right way.
PROPS!

Gotta remove the old exhaust tips. Mine were a pain to get off. You'll have to wiggle the tip side to side, up and down and twist. Once it's off, tap the new one in. In the instructions it said from the muffler can and the end of the tip it's about 14mm. To me I have it sticking out a tiny bit more than that though. Really up to you how far in you want it.
Now everything is snugged and secure, time to put it back on. Everything is reverse as you taken it off. It's a lot easier putting it on then taking it off, it just slides and pops into place. I would put where the 2 screws in the little squares first after you have the bumper in place.
Finally, just stand back and admire
Hope this was useful to anyone kinda on the fence bout doing it.

Does anyone have a picture of what their GFX look like inside the rear wheel well? I received mine yesterday and it doesn't look like it's painted completely where it forms the "L" shape bend around the wheel well (the color fades out toward the edge). Is this normal? I'm worried that it can be seen when looking behind the rear wheel once it's installed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Aman, what year is your IS? If it's 2011+ I'm curious if you had any issues similar to jmhtx with the markings not being on the backside of the bumper.

BUMP.. Just recieved mine. do you have to cut the bumber exhasut cut outs to make this fit snug? I would really like to just have this lip held on by nothing more than 3m tape, since the color doesn't match as well as i'd hoped. that way i can just take it off if i need to when i sell the car.
