Default Ap1 rear bumper cap

Hi I recently got my rear bumper replaced by a body shop and I noticed that the exhaust cap was molded onto the bumper, I always thought it was removable b/c ive seen people put single exhaust caps on.... is the single cap just a cap that goes over the old one or is the new bumper I got not oem. If someone can clarify this that would be awesome.

-Thanks

What year s2k do you have? The AP1's came with a removable black cap the AP2's are one solid piece. They may have stuck an AP2 bumper on your AP1.

i think the black piece is removable for another piece that has the left hole filled.

nope, the single exhaust cap is taped onto that part. the black strip stock is one with the bumper and not a separate piece.

not sure who you are referring to, but edspecR is right. The black piece is not removable and the single cap (the link you posted) goes over the stock double-holed one.

there are 2 caps available

the one made by ztec in the link above, which you basically have to get second hand as they've been out of stock for the last 6 months. the ztec is a better fitting piece overall, and i'm unaware of any mounting issues.

the other option is the carbon fiber gtmotoring piece which i was not pleased with as it is a pain in the ass to install because the 3M tape it comes with is hit or miss. also it is about 1/8th of an inch short from side to side and therefore you can see the original black (from the bumper) on either side. i was thinking of having it epoxied (tried myself and that failed to hold) by a pro body shop.

there is no cap that simply fills the hole itself, as seen on some accords and dodge chargers

aCab is referring to the same cap that i describe, and everyone else
