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

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?
