really? did it burn your bumper before you put the covers on? cause when it was on my car, it was MUCH closer to my stock bumper and never posed any issues. the canister also slightly rubbed on the inside of the ings rear bumper but never burned it or even had any effect on the paint. even when i had the old Invidia, it was fine.

Wash it down really well. Sand it with 200/400/800 grit sandpaper. Apply primer and 3 coats of paint. Let dry, and mount.
