Default exhaust enhancer plates

I saved money buy buying straight pipes for 140$ with the tips at local muffler shop vs 500-700 for the borla straight pipes stinger single tip exhaust and a 150$ used rear wheel set. Looking for front wheel set to match and a rear tow hook as well as window tint.

Are these worth the money or do they get in the way? Do they just have double sides adhesive tape and stick to the rear exhaust inbetween? What enhancer plates are you guys using and which is best the carbon fiber are 250$ im looking for the cheaper ones and are they stainless steel or aluminum or plastic and do they have any in a black/silver or carbon fiber imitation design? Also thinking of getting the ls1 sick and twisted badges. Thd only thing i really think is needed is the rear tow hook from ebay that bolts to the exhaust hangar bracket incase of emergency breakdowns. Someone said they used it to pull their car out of a ditch. Main reason is a i had bad coil grounds and was stuck in the middle of the highway or city street with a bunch of traffic. I didnt have a way to get the car out of the way a tow hook would work to tow the car 50-100 yards to closest gas station or parking lot but would have to be from the rear lol im not sure how to mount the front one you have to remove the bumper? or can you access it with the lower bumper to condenser shroud bolts and a small angle drill.

Corvette mods has them but ive read bad reviews about them shipping they have a 2.4 star rating out of 5 when you look up the corvettemods company

Anyway can i see yall guys exhaust enhancer plates?

Some of this stuff adds up to a bunch of cosmetics not sure if needed i really like the 111$ ebay spoiler king but may look just as good without it. What does a 99 c5 corvette weight on the track scale from the factory the title says 3500 curb weight.

Im just pondering the idea some of that stuff adds extra weight not needed what does your black one look like? They just self adhesive tape to the back trunk area? It seems they may not be that noticeable unless staring at the exhaust.

I'll take a pic tomorrow and it's noticeable. Mine is double sided tape but it also feels like Velcro
