C8 Rear plate holder

[YFCvii]

Real Exposed Carbon Fibre add ons are purely cosmetic for me. Looks great and pricey as heck. Problem is once you start it is hard to stop. If one thinks I am doing it to reduce weight - it does reduce the weight of my wallet - or just google my vanity plate ... which might look pretty cool with a pricey real exposed carbon fibre frame that matches the other parts on my Corvette.

So I found 2 different frames. The first one is the GM carbon flash painted. I like it but it
won't allow for a smoked plastic plate cover.
I went to Princess Auto and bought for 8 bucks a painted metal frame complete with
a smoked cover, it's the second pic.
What do you think?

We get $ 180.00 tickets for plastic plate covers in this part of the world....

C.T. has many options. The most expensive was Weathertech. Not sure why, but they felt heavy. I want to investigate further. Not sure I want to pay 50 bucks for a frame or 10 for the cheapest version.

Non tinted Blu427, Ontario laws prohibit any cover plus you have a vanity plate let it be seen.

The second one looks good

OMG... I guess I can't post a link from amazon

Murray stick with the ACS composite plate holder, Sparro doesn't even have a C8 so not sure what the plate holders are for, I guess to mount souvenirs plates in his garage

 

[Murray20c8]

Ya, I need something behind the plate and not in front. I hate the idea of mounting the metal plate right against the paint.

I stuck truck cap tape behind mine so it wouldn't rub the paint

Canadian Tire has a black plastic plate mount bracket for like $6 that goes behind the plate.

I purchased the Silicone License Plate Holder, I found it ideal because it protects the Paint and is very flexible so it follows any curve or contours.
The price varies from Brand to Brand, link is just an example. Plastic Covers can be placed over them to provide additional protection of the Plate

I saw one I liked, but thought I'd check out weathertechs first.

I saw those on Amazon. Have you put them on yet? I'd love to see a picture of them on your car.

I have a C7 and Custom made a Front Plate Holder since I didn’t like any of the Aftermarket offerings. The Silicone Holders worked great on it.

Here you go.

Ohuhu silicone license plate holder

Yeah, you're right.
It went in for PPF and Ceramic today, I asked them to PPF the front plate, hopefully that will help
keep it clean, and make washing bugs off easier.
