Instead of trying to pack everything together in one FilledPlot, try
compositing plots using DisplayTogether
Example:
<< Statistics`NormalDistribution`
<< Graphics`FilledPlot`
<< Graphics`Graphics` (* for DisplayTogether *)
ndist = NormalDistribution[0, 1];
npdf = PDF[ndist, x];
DisplayTogether[
FilledPlot[npdf, {x, -2, -1}, Fills -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]],
FilledPlot[npdf, {x, 1, 2}, Fills -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]]]
Hope that helps,
Daniel
