"Thinking of dumping them"...I would probably guess that's what he is doing and wondering what those spots would look like filled

Fake tips or run the duals out the back. (over the axle please)

if you must delete the exhaust tips, change the whole rear bumper. the ta version is designed around tips too much to just fill the openings. The proper course of action would be to get a fitebird/formula rear bumper and add on the factoy or aftermarket ground effect rear valance. that would leave no exhaust opening and at the same time help the rear blend with the ta side skirts.

Thought of the formula bumper but wouldnt fit the rest of the car. I tryed looking on the web but no luck. Never used photo shop before. Basically wouldnt it look like a camaro bumper but little longer?

Anyone have a pic of the Firebird / Formula bumper on a car with the TA side skirts? With or without the rear GFX?

Looks odd with the firebird/formula rear bumper.

Looks odd with the firebird/formula rear bumper.I was thinking just the opposite. With the the separation of the rear wheel it doesn't look bad IMO.

Different strokes. Personally, not my cup of tea. I think it's too radical & too quick of a transition in the rear, though it flows a little better with the front bumper.

I just think the body lines are screwy with the significant height difference between the ground affects and rear bumper. I would rather see a formula lowered reasonably than this. I think that just looks much cleaner. I don't mind the raised TA wing but it just adds height to the rear throwing off the look for me.

It doesn't look that bad actually. If the paint match was a little better or it was a dark car, I bet it would look real good. The rear bumper is just a touch high though.
