the gap on top of the bumper is normal, you can't get it up higher. to remove the bumper you have to undo the clips inside the rear wheel well and the two big torx bolts underneath, the whole bumper will slide right off


also, just so you know, you have what are called directional tires. they need to be facing a certain direction for the best traction. I can see in your first picture that your left rear tire is on backwards, the chevron shapes on each side of the Yokohama logo are supposed to be pointing in the direction the tire rotates

no problem, I work as a mechanic so I'm used to picking up on stuff like that

I can't really say much about the ECS kit since I don't have it, the pictures all show the regular M3 bumper but the rear bumper for the ti is different, I'd send them an email asking them to confirm if the rear bumper is the correct one for a ti or not, no point in having it shipped from another continent just to find out it's not going to work.

mine came with the bumper I bought from ddmtuning.com, looks like they sell it separately though

I think you'll probably need to drill holes to put it on unless your bumper comes with the holes pre-drilled
