Prepare and install Z06 exhaust enhancer plate

Planned

Stainless-steel rear accent purchased. Its substantial feel made a strong first impression; installation is still ahead.

The project record

Where the project stands

This little piece surprised me. The stainless-steel Z06 exhaust enhancer sits between the exhaust outlets, and it feels much more substantial in the hand than I expected. It is a finishing touch I am looking forward to adding to Robin.

I noticed a holographic GM sticker on the back of mine. That is an observation about the piece I received, rather than a claim that GM manufactured it. The product is sold as a Eurosport Daytona accessory.

I have not installed it yet. First I want to consider a surface protectant, possibly a ceramic coating suitable for the material and location, with the goal of making future cleanup easier. I will share the finished result once it is on the car.

This page starts with the plan and selected parts. Installation photos, decisions and results will be added as the work happens.
