S Rear Bumper on R50 Valance Fit Issue

I've hit a snag on my S bumper install on my R50. The R50 valance doesn't fit the S bumper. Will the R50 aero bumper valance fit the S stock bumper? If it does, will there be enough clearance for the exhaust tip? Any other thoughts? If nothing can be done, I will sell the S bumper and all trim, and wait for an R50 rear aero bumper to come up for sale here.

You need to use all three pieces from your R50 bumper if you didn't do that. Just the center piece will not fit alone.

How do I deal with the fact that the r50 bumper and valance have a slight curve to them and the S bumper and valance are straight across? That's my issue. My valance and the S bumper are shaped differently where they connect. The side trim with the side markers fit just fine. Thanks for responding.
