Default Jax crew, what do you think of this?

I made this exhaust plate for my car. C5s have an empty space between each side of the exhaust tips where the differential housing cover is. Many vendors sell plates with c5 logos and what not, but I wanted something different and made this:



A lot of people on corvetteforum have expressed interest and asked me if I'm going to start selling them, and I think I may. What do you guys think, do you like it and do you think enough people would want one? I don't know what I would charge yet, but certainly no more than what the c5 logo ones cost, hopefully a little less actually.

Giver me your honest opinions. I'll try to get more pics of it actually on the car, but it's raining right now so I'm staying put.

You could pick up a teenage grunge chick with that on a vette. J/k

Looks good man , keep it to yourself tho, if you sell them ...its not special anymore. Just my .02

Don't be silly , old people only buy red vettes Rick. Will's vette is Pewter.

On second thought , give Rick one. Having a red loud Vette is not enough for him.

they look like the symbol from the movie/comic book the Punisher which would be a good logo for a vette.

I didn't know Corvette owners are going gothic now

I was actually talking to Rob about those plates earlier this morning. I think it may look okay, but I think I'd have to see pics before I make any judgments.
