Default New Custom Exhaust Plate

As you may have seen in a previous thread, picked up a MY 2003 Z06 a few weeks back. Car is in great shape, but the factory exhaust plate looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the day it rolled off the lot. I figured I'd change it up a bit. Enjoy.

Old look:



Supplies needed - Blank plate, sticker that fits, and beer of your choice:



Placed the sticker on the new plate and removed the old:



Finished product:



As with most mods, I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I think it turned out pretty good! Nice thing about this mod is you can customize it any way you want.

I can always throw an original back on if/when it comes time to sell her.

There wasn't a factory exhaust plate. They didn't come with them, they're all aftermarket.

Great choice in beer. A jayhawk would be better on the exhaust plate

OK I have to ask...What does ATM stand for?
To me it means "Anti-Tank Missile".

So all KU fans aren't bad. They do have good taste in beer. Just so you know i am going to copy your exhaust plate. Of course mind will have a jayhawk on it. Your plate looks great wish i would have thought of it years ago.
