Single side exhaust, fix the looks
Does anyone know of a company or product that has a replacemnt for the bumper guard on the passenger side that fills the exhaust hole? I know s2k owners can get something of the sort if they decide on a single exhaust... Is there a product available or will a body shop have to fill the hole? I am trying to avoid the mesh. I feel that it looks tacky in my opinion. A modern sports coupe doesnt need something that was a popular body mod in the 90's...
Thanks

^ That's no answer.

He doesn't want mesh. And he's looking for a commercially available replacement.

Well, if people are buying mesh and custom making bumpers, i doubt there is anything out to buy specifically for this problem.

I'd imagine that bitch would scrape every where.... Looks cool but for our car it sits too low. Louder too unless thats your thang.

I have a single exhaust, and I just put a dummy tip in.. Idk if your going for the single look or not, but I like the fake out idea.

I love the look on the JIC's RX-8. I'd rather have that than my HKS single...

So yeah I know this is an old thread, but i am kicking around the idea of customizing my rear bumper. I like the way Nemesis' Custom bumper looks but i was thinking about filling in maybe all the way across the whole thing not just the exhaust shrouds. I have the hi power set up paired nicely with a BHR mid. and will never change that, so this is what I was thinking... now keep in mind this was a 5 minute tape job just so I could see what it might look like. Tell me what you think. Good idea bad idea, will look like **** idea. I am open to all suggestions.

I say do it up. By the looks of your car, It will just be black anyway so it will look fine in my opinion. Try it

I never quite know with you 9k but from the sound of that one, it's not your taste. Where's the bluntness I respect and have gotten use to from you??
