Put some bumper finishers on and that will clean it up. I have been pondering this to as I have an 09 hatch and really like the dual/quad looks and the sound is a bit different from single. What exhaust are you using Kevin? Plus there are more options for the dual/quad exhausts.

Here's my build thread. I had a quad tip custom made to fill out the bumper gap. I think we chatted about it on the 08-10 forum. Used a magnaflow muffler, stock midpipe (no resonator), and 4" tips now. Looks different and tons better.

Here's the build thread so far. Got a few more stuff coming for her. I'll attempt to get some better pics of the new axleback once I'm back in KS.

I'm doing this soon, but taking a slightly different approach. I'm going to stencil the area, and I bought large hangers so hopefully I won't have huge gaps like OP. I wanted to know if there was a way to slowly heat the edge of the bumper, and curve it under a bit. Anyone know if this would be possible with a heat gun and patience? Just the half inch to the hard cut edge.
