C7 Grille Bar - Black vs Chrome

[billbadalato]

new front plate install

i took Jakes advice and got rid of the standard plate that the dealer installed.
i did not know that the Aero plate even came with the car! i found mine in the storage compartment in the rear along with a gas filler tube, and some brake cooling disks.
modification took about 30 minutes with a dremmel to trim the plastic to fit the license plate. LOOKS much better.

Black/Chrome Grille

I read that in the changes for the 2016 models if you order the Carbon Flash badge package the grille bar is in black which totally makes sense. If you see on the build price and build site there is an option for $185 "Front bumper molding" Which no one seems to know what it is. It turns out to be a Carbon Flash painted license plate mounting which fits to the front centre of the car . It is angled to match the grille and isn't the flat ugly plastic box they give you for us Ontarians that have to have the stupid front plate. The nice thing about it they also give you the Corvette filler piece if you want to try and go without the plate. It's a bit pricey like a lot of the options but I think it's worth it now that I have it. Oh yes, you have to bend the plate to fit the angle also.
