clean your exhaust plates!
I have noticed many Vettes driving around with very dirty exhaust plates, some are so bad they are covered in black soot.
Nothing worse than a dirty exhaust plate!

You're right! It gets about the same amount of attention as the under the frame portion of the "rocker panels"

So what's your opinion on cars that don't have an exhaust plate?

I always practice safe exhausting when I'm out about town. One nevers knows what kind of fumes are out there.
The world is not a safe place anymore.
Please be safe and use tin foil whenever you can.

It's not supposed to be prominent, it's an "accent" piece, nothing more.
