Default *$#$ MY APEXI N1 Started to melt my ctr lip!!!

So i went and washed my car this morning, to find that my rear lip started to take shape of my Apexi N1. it didnt completely melt it just got it hot enough to make it flexible enough so now it is shaped like the stock bumper exhaust cutout.

What should i do? leave it and just let it be, or get a new lip?

Yeah go to autozone or advance and get longer hangers... if you can live with your lip slightly melted then leave it on, if it will bug you get a new one.

yeah, heat tends to melt plastic, believe it or not that muffler does get pretty hot.

my front splash guard has taken the shape of my header....and it's about 2 inches from the header...

yea.. im going try and get longer rubber hangers. and if that doesnt work that good i think ima fab up a carbon fiber plate to go inbetween the muffler and ctr lip. and yes its a real one, which is why im so mad!!!! i like the idea of putting the carbon fiber but i think im just going to use a carbon fiber plate and just rivet it on the bottom of the bumper(well lip) since its already messed up. thanks for the help.
