Default Suggestion Needed

hey guys Alaan here , I thought the exhaust tips were a lil incomplete, so I started to search for the exhaust tips large enough to cover the free space.
Then I found a exhaust cover for it, never knew it eve existed. Kind of ordered it from Amazon but when the product arrived it was very disappointing. It looked really bad, a total turn off. So, I went and searched on my old vendors site, American car craft and found one there too. Now, the thing is I've ordered things from American car craft and they are fantastic but I need your opinion on this one, have guys installed an exhaust cover are they good or are they all bad? Kind of in a no/yes situation. Suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.

I would google it and look at images.
ACC builds a great product.
You can choose polished, painted or brushed. You really need to see what looks best on your ride. - Hence the google search with images.
The biggest issue I have seen with the filler panels is the exhaust does not always end up square in the hole. If the owner is to lazy to fix the exhaust (typically you need to bend the exhaust hangers around to get the exhaust into the correct position) the filler panel just highlights the out of alignment exhaust.

I bought mine from Southern Car Parts a few years ago. I like it and feel it fills up the empty space nicely. You will likely need to bend the hangers to get everything lined up right. I'd make sure to tape off the tips before the install. Here's mine.

There was a thread on here about a month ago from a guy who actually made his and it looked really good. Try a forum search for "exhaust plate". I thought it was NSF, but apparently not. Looks like he bought one.
