Default Exhaust plate.

Greetings! I have been lurking here for some time. This is a fantastic site, filled with some great people! You have helped me immensely! I purchased my first vette, a 6spd., 2000 mag red vert a year ago last March. It had 22,700 miles on the clock and came with 4 new wheels and tires and a new battery. Up until I haven't had anything to add to the discussions, however, I would like to relate something that I did about 8 months ago. Insead of using ss steel or billet aluminum for my exhaust plate, I used a piece of 1/8 th plexiglas and painted the background white and added a black Jake using a template I made from a printout I got off of the Forum. It looks great, has held up perfectly and cost me almost nothing. (I'll put up some pics soon.)

Chuck

Glad to have you aboard the forum. Sounds like a nice mod to the car and one that can be done for a minimal outlay of cash. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
