I have a 04 Commemorative which of course is LeMans Blue and I bought a filler plate that is the same color and has the corvette flags on it. Very happy with how it looks and was not alot of $$$ Got it at the Corvette Museum store online.MsSchroder said:I was perusing Mid America's online store when I noticed they have the billet aluminum exhaust filler plates on "sale". (here).
..."Sale" meaning $80 bucks off the regular price, but they are still $299 :eek
These things look good, but I'm not sure if I want to spend $300 on something cosmetic.
I know I've seen cheaper plates around; my question is what are the advantages and disadvantages of cheaper vs. more expensive?
What are you guys using, and what do you like/dislike about them?

i would be worried about the ones that clamp the 2 pipes tightly together because if you stand behind a C-5 and watch the tailpipes as one goes up and one goes down when you floor the engine. i would think this would put a big strain on the pipe welds.

That sounds awesome.... DIY and cheap....like exactly the kind of thing I would do. Now, show us some pics so we can see if it looks as good as you say.

MsSchroder said:Torch Red,
If I could post pics don't you think I would have already posted a million pics of my Vettes? ...hey wait...I can copy a pic of the emblem from the internet..see below:L )
Just imagine the flag emblem that is on the C5(the 6 1/2"x3 1/2" emblem...its the same hard but flexible emblem that is on the nose and trunk of the C5) on a stainless steel plate that I described in my last post...its really nice...If you want me to get one for you and center the emblem on the plate and send it to you just email me and I will do it...only takes 5 mins for me to do it..and I will buy the stuff for you and you can send me a check ....
Heres what the emblem looks like>>>
now picture that emblem on a 6"x12" piece of stainless (mirrored finished) steel with double sticky 3M tape on the back
MsSchroder said:04 Torch Red,
I didn't know you were having problems posting pics.
Have a look at post #2 in this thread for instructions for resizing/uploading to the CAC.
If that doesn't do it, send me a PM and I can walk you through it.
As for the plates- I'm still debating* about what to do. Cruzer's carbon fiber ones looked pretty unique in the pics he sent. I'm waiting for a stroke of lightning to help me decide whether I want the carbon-fiber look or stainless. Or the z06 emblem or the crossed flags.

*debating = procrastinating
MsSchroder said:ok, you talked me into it.
I'm sending you a PM.
I didn't realize your photo posting problem was as fundamental as that :L
I don't know what to tell you about the camera. It just depends on how much you want to spend. Then you just have to research.

I've got the Ecklers Stainless looking plate with the C5 emblem on it, $40.00 bucks, sticks on with 3M tape and I think it looks great!
