Default Boring Rear View??

After installing hooker side pipes,Has anyone ever looked at the rear view of the car and thought something was missing like look of the pipes wrapping around the spare tire compartment and the chrome tips coming out the back? Is there any after market items to cover up the emptiness of where the mufflers were,like some kind of plate or shield?Im fixing to install my hookers next week and I think I'll be afraid to look at my rear end!!

I think Greenwood used to make a kit to cover up all that stuff back there. I saw one at Kellers in Dallas once. Looked like a fiberglass panel that covered up the whole thing after the differential, even said Greenwood on it. Only one I ever saw tho, looked nice

I dont really think it's going to be boring...but if you want to do something different and custom you can take away the whole rear bumper and fix a custom satin black grill, it will give you a better aerodinamic efficiency and it might look the business, if well done. It will also shorten your rear end which would eventually give a more important look to the hood area.

At least you can try, eventually you can fix back the bumper later on...

I agree with panic, I don't think it will look boring. C3's have better styled rear ends than most newer cars anyway. You could always add a panel or diffuser to the rear end later to cover up the holes.
