The c5 exhaust plate, when 13 crossed flag logos are just not enough!

But you can't see any of them from that angle It does look ugly at that spot without something to cover that hump. the plate was my second mod after chrome tips. It just looks tasteful in my opinion not overkill.

Ah, so it's for those who can't read the 19 inch wide CORVETTE back there.



I'm not seeing anything ugly here.

Shine some light in there it is in the shadows that hump is fugly. You need an emblem to go with the name a matched set so to speak. I actually thought about just the plate but it was the same price. I am not one for bling really.

Thank you sir. I should have snapped some pics this afternoon after I cleaned it up. I willl have to take some pics tomorrow.

ps. I also just debadged that corvette logo on the trunk lid. Looks a lot better now that it is off. I was amazed how the black on the rear and the logo gone makes a drastic improvement over the look at the back of the car.

I have been thinking about removing my trunk and nose emblems, but affraid that the sun faded the paint a little and you would see a left over shadow of the emblem. Do you have this problem, or does it look like there never was an emblem there. I also thought there are 2 holes to line up the emblem from the factory? Please post some more pics when you can!
