Pinned Rear Bumper
For a couple of bucks and an hour of your time you can create a custom Rear Bumper for your Z Feedback

Pinning the Rear

The Rear Bumper Facial can be pinned up onto the rear bumper reinforcement bar to make a quick 'custom' rear.

The photo of the PPW 350Z at the top left has a single exhaust with all the rest dual exhausts. The photo of the PPW at the top-right has an HKS exhaust and the CS at the lower right has the Invida G200.

The lower part of the Rear Bumper Facia is secured by two straps which you can see in the photos indicated by 'A' in Figs 1,2 and 3.

This strap can be removed from the Rear Bumper Facia (it is the gray plastic in Fig 2 that the Fig 2 text is sitting on) by bending back and forth a few times.

This strap is conneced to a white plastic 'strap' labeled 'B' in Figs 1,2 and 3. This is attached to the car via the screws seen inf Fig 3.

Finally, the two straps are connected together by the plastic 'mushroom' clip 'C' which is also seen in Figs 1,2 and 3.

With the straps removed simply use self-tapping sheet metal screws and some fender washers to secure the Rear Bumper Facia to the Rear Bumper Support (the big piece of squareish alunimum running behind all this .. being the actual bumper.

Note: The only thing I would possibly do different would be to add an aluninum strip under the fender washers to spread the 'clamping action' across the entire face of the Rear Bumper Facia.
