Ive got a big exhaust on my car but since i swapped to gt bumpers its started to melt necause of the heat coming off, has anyone else had this situation and came up with a way to stop it?
I was thinking of some sort of metal shield to attatch to the exhaust gap in the bumper
Thanks all

mine does the same, i couldn't think of a way to stop it, so i just left it and now it's melted abit it doesn't touch the exhaust, and you can only see it when you look really close,
But i would like to know if someone has a way of stopping it

Adjust the clamp on the backbox/midsection. Also check the condition of the rubber hangers.
