Default GT rear bumper w/ single exhaust?

I have a GT front bumper and sides on my car, and never got a GT rear bumper because I have no inclination to get rid of my JBA and go to duals. Maybe one day, because they do look better, but right now i just can't justify buying them to myself.

Latley though, the fact that the front and sides don't flow with the rear at all anymore on my car, and the fact the rear sits so high, those facts are bugging the crap out of me. You know how it is when you look at your car and just aren't happy with it. So I was thinking of putting on a GT rear...but like i said, i'll be keeping the single exhaust. You guys <and girls> think it will look stupid w/ the empty exhaust hole, and ricey, or am i just being paranoid and the majority won't even notice?

TIA-

I was watching tricked out this one night (yes on diy) and they were working on an srt-4 and that dude took off the left side dual to go with just a single right and i thought it looked pretty good.

Yeah, that's just it...i don't feel like buying another muffler, then fabbing an H or even y pipe up, when any performance gain is minimal, at best. Besides, i like the single muffler look, you know it's a v6. I just want the rear bumper so things flow better, right now the rear just drives me nuts.

Ya it would bother me as well, the height of the rear end alone bothers me but then if it looked different compared to the front thatd pry bother the hell outta me until i got it fixed....I would just put on the GT bumper, see how it looks. It Might look good but couldnt tell bvery well havent seen it on a mustang yet.
