Default Corvette Exhaust Enhancer Plate

Anyone know who has different styles/colors of Exhaust Enhancer plates???

I found this Free Enhancer Plate Giveaway! But its just the normal plate from Ecklers...

Does anyone know where you can get these plates in factory colors???

Also, does anyone have pictures of their cars with a factory color plate??? I think it would look cool, but I'm not sure.. Please post some pics if you have a factory color Enhancer plate!

Thanks!

Thanks for the links...

I think I like the silver plate or black plate after seeing them in color. I think its just too much... Hmm, maybe if you had a yellow car with red callopers and a red plate that would work, but I'm not sure I like when the plate matches the car color.. I guess it wasnt such a good original idea..

HAHA. oh well.

Thanks again for the info!

Try Ecklers and Mid-America. I think they sell painted plates.

I agree I like the Silver and black, just not the Raiders so much. haha

Yeah, the chrome with the silver paint probably would be too much bling!

I'm still waiting to see a yellow car with red callopers and a red plate or the opposite scheme... Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks everyone for your help!!!

Just a small suggestion on that yellow car with the red calipers and red plate:

DON'T DO IT!

A while ago there was a pic of a yellow vert with a white top and red interior. Not a whole lot of people appreciated the color combo; in fact some said it looked like the Ronald McDonald car.

Bottom line: It's your car and you're paying for it. Do what makes you happy.

Yeah, thats why I'd like to see it before I do it... I never thought of that, "Ronald McDonald car" haha!!

I think the red car with yellow calipers and a yellow plate would look more like the Mcdonald car but the yellow car with red calipers and plate would probably look much better... HMM

I guess I'll have to think about it a bit more...

I got my speedway white ZO6 plate from national corvette museum. They have several colors if you want it paint matched.

Anybody have a picture of a Mag Red plate on their car? I was leaning towards getting stainless when i get this, but I'd like to see what a Mag Red one would look like?

Thanks!

Personally, I don't care for those plates, no matter what color or finish. If you look at them, they introduce rectilinear lines to a car that is nothing but curves. They are just plain out of place and look "busy".

Same with the tail pipe tips. The stock ones are the same eliptical shape as the tail lights, and there are 4, just like the tail lights. Do you think that was an accident?

Say what you want about GM, and I agree, they are far from perfect, but I have to admit they got it right, aesthetic design-wise, in the C5. It's really hard to improve on. It's a total package.
