Exclamation Quad Tip Help

How would you guys fill in the gaps between the inner pipes? I got this set from GPI for real cheap so I cant complain to much, but I dont like how you can see right through the tips on the sides. I'm thinking of filling it in with epoxy/cement puddy, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Check out the pictures.

When it's under the car you probably can't see that.

I think when it's that low under the car it will be hard to see the gaps due to the lighting. You're call on what you want to do, but I'd leave it.

When I had my first quad done that gap bather me a lot so I made 4 cover plates and welded inside the tips, I’m sure I made a template but I have to look for it.
