Unique exhaust plates
On my '00 Mag Red coupe, I added SS letters on the back (from SS Inserts- loved 'em!) and also added an exhaust plate from the Chev dealer which had the crossed flags mounted on chrome. Either of these looked great alone but when I looked at them both together, it was just a little too much in my opinion.
So, for my new '04 Mag Red vert, I want to add some rear appearance mods and have decided that I definitely want the SS letters but need some ideas for the underpan.
Does anyone have any pics of the back of your 'Vette with SS letters and a different exhaust plate? Or for that matter, just a different style exhaust plate? Meaning one that doesn't shine like the chrome did. I guess I'm after a little subtlety.
Thanks a lot guys & gals!

Thanks Reb. That's good idea but I'd be nervous to try it 'cause Mag Red is so tough to match. Even if you get the paint code from GM, it doesn't always look exactly right.
I'd like to try to stay away from anything real "shiney" for the underpan.

Some of the vendors sell the exhaust plates painted to match the color of your car. Would look nice between the exhaust.

My plate has a 50th AE logo, a routed border and Corvette written on it. I know it's chrome but....

Why all the flags and Corvette Logo's ??????
First of all I am a vette owner but wonder why so many vette owners insist on putting every gody flag and vette logo plastered all over their car? It makes a great car look cheap. I used to be a porsche owner and you never saw that. Just my opinion, and many others
