DIY AP1 Heel Toe Single Exhaust Cap
Today I picked up a single exhaust cap in carbon fiber from Heel Toe Auto 
I noticed how some people get confused with a single cap. Thinking they have to cut out and replace the bottom piece of the bumper.
That is not the case, it is a "cap" the fits flush right over it.
Time took for install-25 minutes
The cap comes with (1) Alcohol swab (2) Tapping screws and double sided tape attached to the cap.
My Z-tec single exhaust cap got warped because my T1R exhaust decided to have a mind of its own and thought it would adjust itself closer to my bumper.
So I picked up a Spoon N1 instead
After taking the z-tec off I had to use a dremel to cut some of the melting plastic off the bumper. As I was taking the cap off I broke the the oem tabs, instead I used nuts and bolts for installation.
On to the install.
Make sure to clean the area thoroughly with the alcohol swab for the tape to adhere.
I had extra APR nuts and bolts so I used them instead of the oem tabs.
I then loosely attached the cap from the bottom.
I then peeled of the double-sided tape and attached the cap as flush as possible.
When I was satisfied, I used the tapping screws and drilled them on the ends of the cap.
Tighten everthing down and thats it.
