Sorry, let me be clearer. The "carbon diffuser" portion needs to slide underneath the metal supports on the car. If you sit it on top, the bumper will not slide in far enough and wiill not sit on the car properly - all in my experience. So, based on my experience, don't paint the metal clips; instead, flex the carbon portion downward so if fits snug underneath the metal clips and the bumper will slide right into place.
yeah i bent my brackets back so they didnt touch anything when installed them... i dont think that is good for the bumper..

When you say bend them, do you mean towards the front of the car or towards the back.

Yes, I just bent mine back as well. Aaron advised it's not good because of the vibrations and cracking risk.

Should I get the ITB vents for the hood? I'm contemplating it but I really dont want to cut up my hood. Is there a significant difference?

I have ITBs...guess not a lot of people would know that cause I dont post my car often at all. so hence, it would be functional for me to get the vent...but i think it just throws the hood off balance. you got the hump for the intake, vent in the middle, and then another vent next to the big vent. i don't know if it will look good, maybe i'll just work with an induction box or something.

So, I haven't really got to hear my ASM 60 single from behind/outside the car, but I finally had the chance a couple days ago. Had my wife jump in my car and I rode behind in her CR-V. What an awesome sounding exhaust!! Down low it has a great mild tone and really opens up around 6k. This is with the stock cat and ASM -04 exhaust manifold.
