Default Some input, please...

I know it's a personal decision but would like to read some of your opinions. Picking up my sliver, vert on the 21st. One mod I'd like is the exhaust plate enhancer. Q: were it you, would you prefer the black w/logo, polished w/logo or the polished one that is larger and fits over the exhaust pipes? I really would appreciate any feedback you'd be willing to offer. Thanks BTW the wheels are chrome

Black with logo to blend in with the lower panel coloring. It will look fine no matter what you choose. It's a great car to put it on.

What wheels do you have?

If you have (or are going to get) chrome, I'd probably go with the chrome filler or polished plate. Otherwise, I'd go black.

Personally, if I did one it would be the polished one that is larger and fits over the exhaust pipes. Reason being, there is already a logo on the rear of the car and I think it looks a little silly to have one on the top and one on the bottom.

If I were to do a plate with a logo between the pipes, I would remove the logo at the top of the bumper. But that's just me.

I'm going to be doing something a little special, hopefully this weekend, and will be posting pix on it when I'm done. Something a little different.

I had the polished one on my car before I changed my exhaust to BB Route 66s but I do still miss it.

If you ever decide to change out the stock mufflers to an aftermarket catback system the exhaust plate will end up in the C6 parts for sale section, but I'd go with the black, more sinister looking.

Pics would be helpful

I think it depends on if you have stock exhaust or if you have other exhaust. I also think it matters if you are going to mod your car at all ie. black out your lights or anything of that sort.

From a teens point of view i would prefer no exhaust plate, but if you were set on getting one and you have chrome polished wheels and polished exhaust then i guess i would go with the chrom plate. Black would kind of disapear.

good luck
