Modified T/A rear bumper After having going dual and having wierd empty openings in my bumper for a while, I decided to do some cutting to see if I could make it look a little better. After a couple minutes with an air saw, this is what I came up with:
Before:
After:
Not a huge difference, but I think it looks a little better. I was thinking about cutting out a little more to give it a cleaner look. So what do you guys think?

It doesn't show up really well in pics, because the car is black. 
on me for not pointing this out better, but if you look at either side of the liscence plate on the before pics on the inside of the exhaust opening, you'll see where the bumper comes down to form a "spikey" looking piece. I cut this off, then countoured the opening that the exhuast used to come though so it looked a little smoother. I was going for the look of the Formula bumper. I guess if you can't tell that anything's been done, then I haven't hacked it up too bad

it took me a while to see it because i was comparing both of the before pics 
. i like it, i dont have duals and i think it would look good even with the tips still back there. i always thought the way the rear bumper looked wasnt right anyway.
