Default Exhaust Plate?

How many of you Z06 owners put a nice chrome or cusom plate between your pipes? Any recommendations?

Waste of money.
I would not want to draw attention to what is under the car. Just seeing 4 big exhaust tips coming out is enough.

Haven't seen this plate around much, was on my Z when I bought it, thick strong construction. I like it, not a big fan of bling but it seems to work:

I have three (3) C5s , so the challenge is to be different or learn with each car. The first car got a nice SST plate with the C5 flags[IMG][/IMG] The next got the polished and cleared billet aluminum plate [IMG][/IMG] The Z06 recently found a nice chromed aluminum billet plate that is no longer being manufactured.[IMG][/IMG]

I have the plate that has the C5 logo. I thought it looked better than the dull black exterior of the center storage compartment. As far as falling off, I check it every time I wash the car. If it ever feels loose I will retape it.

I thought that for a bit but when I saw the gap I decided to get a plate.

Mine is mirrored. Says Z06 in the stock badge style. Looks great now...
