Default AP2's w/ Single Exhausts and that empty space

well i just went searching for an hour and finally decided to post myself.

us AP2 folk have been restricted to running duals because well frankly....it just looks silly with a single. we got that BIG gaping hole.

i just got an apexi n1 and am trying to find out how to make the car look good again from behind.

I know we can switch to AP1 bumpers. but that has proven to be a bit difficult as not many people seem to want to switch. least in my area.

and im trying to avoid spending another 300 or so dollars to replace the bumper completely.

so what can us AP2 guys do to fill in that gap?

ive seen the rear fog light and dont dig it too much.

ive heard but never seen rumors of a tow hook.

what other things can we do?

Exactly..... I think it just ugly...

S2K should have Dual Exhaust it balance that way...
I go for balance over more power.

I seen someone on here that filled up the exhaust hole with bondo and molded it to where it looks perfect with just one exhaust hole. I'd go this route just because it looks damn clean

I guess you can cut up a muffler tip and attach it somehow. I dont know if it will look right though. The best route though is to get it molded.

Yes, I recall someone cutting a piece from a junk bumper to mold in and fill the gap. Seems like a lot of work to get a tiny bit of HP, plus the balance of having 2 mufflers in the back just looks MEAN. I love it and am not willing to sacrifice for power.

If money is not an issue, cut the groved hole portion out and replace with a piece from another AP2 bumper, bondo, sand smooth and repaint. Done.

Pay the cost to be the boss.
