I love almost everything about my 2012 V6 Premium...ALMOST. The thing that bugs me is the obvious presence of the 2 mufflers as the car is viewed from behind. I can spot a V6 from great distances just because of those huge silver things that hang from the rear of the car.

Is it possible to put an extension from the bottom of the rear bumper to cover them up? I don't understand why the V6 didn't get the 5.0 rear bumper. Is it because the 5.0 owners want their machine recognized from all angles?

you can always add the GT style lower valence to help with what you are trying to to. There are a few body kits out there from like Street Scene and 3D carbon that will do the trick.

Also, you can also kill 2 birds with 1 stone buy buying a mid-muffler catback. That way your mufflers will be relocated to the middle of the car (like the pre-05 Mustangs) which would "hide" them, and you'd also gain a few extra horsepower and a nice exhaust note.

Hope that helps
