97+ rear bumper exhaust plug
Ok, so I have been searching for a few days for ways to cover up the empty hole on the right side of my exhaust, since my car is single. I can't seem to find anybody who sells these, and the two people I talked to about this said that it's too labor intensive for them to custom make one.
So, does anyone know what I can do, where I can find something like this, or who I can contact to make me one? I don't want to pay an arm and a leg either.
97-SC300, your car looks amazing with the filler This is the look I'm going for.
Here is how my car sits now.

tape some cardboard on the backside of it, tape around your bumper and go ham with some fiberglass, let it dry and peel off all the tape and fiberglass, then sand, body filler if needed and paint and you have a custom made piece. it's like back in middle school making paper mache stuff and clay. i mean that's how most body work is done right?

another easy method to do for such a small piece is to get modeling clay and use that to make a mold of the area (that way you can shape down the contour and what not correctly). Once you have that "mold/template" you can apply multiple layers of fiberglass to make the desired product. Remove the new fiberglass piece from "mold/template" and now you have your "delete" that can be slightly trimmed around the edges for fitment..
To get an idea of what I'm talking about
this is a much more extreme example as he's building a custom diffuser but the premise is the same

Ok, guys, I asked AP Tech if they would be willing to make a plug for the 97+ bumpers and here is the response
So who is in? I need to know so that they can make one!
