Default Flat black exhaust plate

I've seen all kinds of exhaust plates and I do think that area of the car could be cleaned up. Kind of surprised me when I first saw all the exposed bits of the NPP system hanging out kind of like the dogs bollocks. However, the car already has more than enough logos and with a chrome license surround I don't want anymore chrome down there. I would like a filler plate that covers up all the NPP hardware and just has 4 holes for the exhaust tips to stick out. It should be a flat black that matches up with the stock rear diffuser. Anybody know of one like that?

Mine seems more of a satin or matte black. Got it from ebay, but haven't seen them listed in a while. May be same as above.

That's pretty much what I was thinking although it could go further down. Why does it look like it has a chrome strip where it meets the diffuser?

I looked on their website and they want $460???? It does look like it goes down farther but they have the worst pictures. One picture & it's crappy. Don't even say what it's made of. How do they expect to sell anything?

It does have a chrome strip around it and I don't remember exactly what I paid but it was under $100.
Oh, and mine is for non-npp exhaust.

Exhaust filler plate. I looked at RPI today too and don't see it. There is a chance I may have got it from Corvette Mods. Its been so long I don't remember for sure.

I think that is the exact same one I have on mine, also from Ebay. The fit is great and the price was right (around $100).

Well a little more, like $150, but when I priced out the vendors prices (I wont name them) their prices were over the top, way over the top. Corvette tax indeed
