I am taking off the factory dual exhaust on my 14 R/T. I want to find a way to fill the bumper cut outs until I go with a rollpan/ side exit bumper. I am hoping for a half circle plug I can paint to match and mount in there for 6 months or so. Any Ideas?? :cheers:

My first idea would be to wait and do it all at once, second would be.. Nope don't have one. Good luck!

I vote octanes.

Could always find some LED lights and get some fiberglass and mold them in as reverse lights or something.

Probably much easier to find a bumper on Craigslist or trade a member on this forum. I'm selling a no cutout bumper on CL now and bought my dual cutout on CL in my paint color.

Roll pan is gonna be last on the list after wheels/tires, exhaust, tune, and maybe some engine bay goodies. Just thought someone might already have a pre formed "plug" to get rid of the goofy bumper cut outs.

nah, If the roll pan is last, I'd just drive it with the cutouts until then, Likely nobody but you, -and a few other RAM owners- will notice, and they'll understand a work-in-progress and appreciate the extra work and mods.

My 14 Sport bumper is steel painted body color as I suspect yours is also. If you can weld, it would be easy to cut out the area, weld in plate and form to shape while welding and repaint the area with BC/CC. Blend the CC with up to 3000 grit wet/dry paper and good to go.

Find a couple of old rifles, cut the barrels off and mount them pointing backwards.
