Default Had to clean up the back end!!

I got a perforated exhaust plate from a non-forum vendor for my Corsa exhaust. First one made! With a matching license plate frame (both stainless steel). Then of course, the obligatory lettering kit also. I think it does well with my black car and I guess that's what counts!!

Nothing looks better than a clean black Vette, except a convertible clean black Vette.

Wow!

I'm putting Corsa's on my vert. Can you share where you got the perforated exhaust plate?

Great looking car.

The exhaust plate is fine but for my tastes I'd lose the perforated plate behind the license plate. I don't think it cleans-up the back end to me it looks out of place and clutters-up the back end. IMO the perforated license plate 'billboard' detracts from the overall appearance of a very beautiful car.

This is a minor, personal critique as you truly have a great looking car...good job!

We all have different tastes. I'm just expressing my opinion...you like it so that's what really counts…feel free to tell me to take a hike.

Default Great looking car - not the plate holder...

Beautiful car - love black (don't want to deal with cleaning one myself).

The exhaust plate looks very nice (goes with the wheels) as does the SS lettering.

Can't say I like the perforated plate holder. It looks too thick; the side angles don't really complement the lines of the Vette and just looks busy. I think part of the problem is the very pale license plate (I know - you are kind of stuck with that).

I think a plain thin SS or black plate frame would look better.

Just my opinion. Still a great looking Vert...

Car looks nice!

As others have mentioned, I'm not too keen on the perforated license surround either. But dayum! That red interior looks awesome on your black Vert. Nice combo!

Nice looking car. I would have to agree, lose the the tag holder. You need to Zaino-- looks a little dull.

I'd like to think that last sentance is in jest with the little guy, cause his car looks pretty damm good. If I had the patience for black, I would have got it. But I don't have the patience.

At first the license frame didn't do it for me, but integrating it with the exhaust plate helped...Nice ride overall!
