Exhaust Filler Panels
Has anyone applied an exhaust filler panel on a C6 with NPP exhaust? If so, how does it look ? Does anyone have any recomendations on what type of filler plate looks the best on a C6 GS conv with NPP exhaust?

Here's one that I have but I haven't had a chance to mount it on my Cyber Grey coupe yet.
It is made to fit dual mode exhaust.
They also make a chrome one.

The fact you have a G/S convertible doesn't provide much information on what would look good as an exhaust filler panel, unless you care to share facts about it's color and the wheels you have (or intend to buy). In general G/S models tend to be a bit "blingy", although many with their G/S fender badges painted, and without the standard G/S wheels look quite tastefully, especially those with extra cost paint.

RPI Designs has it but I bought mine from a forum member for around $130.

Lacking any pertinent information on your G/S convertible, I bought a plain black filler panel that fit around my NPP exhaust pipes, and then proceeded to paint the panel with RUST-OLEUM Fine Textured (Matte Black) spray paint. This made the panel blend-in perfectly with the balance of the rear fascia from which the exhaust pipes extend. I also had previously painted the rear of the mufflers, the NPP dash pots and linkage matte black, so not to draw attention to them. I also polished my NPP exhaust tips, so thet stood out. Anyway, the exhaust filler panel now looks like an integral part of the rear fascia from which the shinny NPP exhaust protrude.

There's a You Tube video of an install being done on a vette with NPP. Just search Corvette exhaust filler panel and it will come up. It's around 16 minutes. Easy install but tape up your tips before putting it on to prevent scratches.
