Don't know about the Blackwing and exhaust plate but, according to all of the reviews by members I have read, the best place to order SS inserts is from SS INSERTS. I tried some of the el cheapos from Ecklers and like they say, you get what you pay for. They were plastic, stuck out from the rear and separated from their mirror backing. Pure junk! I had them on for about 2 months before removing them.

I plan on ordering from SS INSERTS in the future.

I agree - shop around! I would stick with the many great Forum Vendors, some offer discounts if you mention that you are a member of the Corvette Forum, but the best reason is that the Forum Vendors seem to operate their businesses at a higher level (better service and easier problem resolution......generally!)

Do you think SS Inserts would do a GP if they could generate enough interest??

West Coast Corvettes, I can't abide by the shipping costs that Mid America and ecklers put on top of anything you buy, it just rubs me the wrong way.
