I'm running dumps and I'm tired of looking at the empty exhaust holes in the back of the car. I want to find a way to have them filled in and painted over like they were never there. Only thing I can think of is to shape a piece of sheet metal close to the edge of the opening and bolt it on, then put a couple layers of fiberglass over the sheet metal and sand til flush. I'm worried it would crack with the flex of the back bumper though. Any ideas????

never seen it done, but would be interested in seeing how it would look. A lot of people swap to the formula bumper to get rid of the empty slots. Or you can run dummy tips to still have the good looking rear end these cars were blessed with

+1 Im going to be getting dummy tips. I just ordered corsa clones last night, and i dont think ill ever get used to looking at a trans am without tips. Ive seen some other people here do that too, and it looks good.

If you wouldnt mind, yes please. I was gonna have a shop make a custom mount, but if its been done before than even better. Thanks

I personally dont like the formula bumper. Its like replacing a ws6 hood for a regular formula hood. To each his own i guess

If anybody is good at filling in the rear bumper with Photoshop please do it I am extremely curious now lol.
I tried with ms paint and was not impressed.

I wonder if you could just get a scrap bumper, remove what you need from the upper portion and panel bond it to the openings...

You could put diffusers there. Similar to the 6LE design just have them fill up the entire opening. I always thought that would look good for those without exhaust tips.

I could actually see that working pretty well. It would keep from neutering the aggressiveness of the TA bumper with the formula one.

And why go through all that trouble and money? Just cus you dont like dummy tips? As i said, to each his own. If you wanna go through the trouble of over the axle or removing the bumper then go for it. Shouldnt matter what others think of your car.

Id simply rather save time, money, and weight by running dumped duals and using dummy tips so the rear doesnt look odd. Pretty simple huh?

Nope...cheap and stupid. But like you said...to each their own.

Dummy tips dont make any f'n sense. And how much weight are you saving? Seriously? Why go through the trouble in adding something that really isnt there? If you dont really care what someone thinks about how your car looks, keep the empty spots in the fascia save even MORE weight and have enough money to hit the drive thru once or twice. More simple, huh?

Comprehension fail much???

Ok, ill spend a lot more money and get duals all the way to the back because some guy in the internet thinks its a better idea... just get over it, youre not convincing anybody.

I think if it's done right it could be a good look...

Yeah that pic is what I want. I'm not a fan of dummy tips and I don't want people thinking I took a formula and made it into a Ws6. I think I'm gonna give it a shot. I've done a good bit of fiberglassing on boats.

that looks like crap, do the diffuser thing if anything, the dummy dips can look good but as soon as you crank the car people will know there fake (especially in the winter time) and there's nothing worse then fake crap on a car.

Just cut the bottom of a camaro bumper off and cut the top off a TA bumper and join hve two together.
