it requires custom body work. You have to cut a section out for it to fit. I forget exactly what else has to be done, but iirc you need the clips from the coupe rear bumper also

yeah it requires cutting about 1-2 inches out and molding it back together then painting it of course.

As mentioned above, a section of the sides of the skirt have to be removed due to the differences in the coupe vs sedan bumper.

I decided to go a step further, but came at an additional cost, to have the skirt molded into the bumper.

yes this is true. I bought a base model bumper and had to cut out 2 sections so that lip would sit properly on the bumper. Also had to cut slots in the bumper for the tabs on the coupe lip to sit into. On the side of the rear lip you need to cut out about an inch on side and mold it back together. Some people have used epoxy, I plastic welded mine. I'm also thinking about plastic welding it to the bumper.
