Post Owners of a Kaminari Rear Skirt!

I just resently bough an RS Lip, Kaminari Sides, & Kaminari Rear Skirt. They all fit perfect except for my exhaust being so close to my rear bumper there is just enought room for the skirt to slide in between. I have already had issues with the exhaust melting the bumper alittle bit, and I just don't want it to do the same to the skirt when I put it on. I will have the exhaust shop drop it before the skirt goes on but...

How far does your exhaust sit away from your rear skirt, and has it melted it at all?

well the place I went to get it installed said they would do it for free, but I would guess around 10-20 bucks at the most.

we are talking about have aftermarket urethane rear lips and having an exhuast problem. There is not problem with the exhaust and the stock rear bumper.

You could just buy a slightly longer or bigger rubber hanger from any auto parts store and replace the stock ones. They cost about $5 bucks, instead of having a muffler shop modify your exhaust. Just my 2 cents.
