Finally saw a C8 Z06 in person

This was in the parking lot of the hotel for the Northland 50th Anniversary Corvette Conference being held in Alberta. It was nice to finally see the Z06 in person

YUK.....I don't like the front license plate deal...car is amazing looking though.

Sad part to me is they had another option for install of front plate. A friend of mine just picked up his red mist z06 and their selling dealer did exactly the same thing - installed the front plate assembly so the plate sits essentially on the top of the bumper - why?
The c8 was designed with a
recessed plate holder

Versus mine recessed .... you have options.

It wasn't designed with a "recessed plate holder". It was designed for use with the plate holder if needed and without that need, it had a nice cover plate. Previous cars have done the same, like the Firebird. Now a trick one can employ because of the situation is to drill holes and mount the plate as you did. The reason why the plate holder is so high is because a few states require the plate be mounted at a certain height. There are obviously other options as well. I made my own. Others don't mount the plate and others buy other options.

You made your own, and haven't been able to slice bread since...

My dealer installed mine just like yours. I had ordered the GM holder but this looks much better and discrete.

One positive about living in Alberta, they don't require a front license plate.

Nice car ... the front plate holder kills it. Other none OE options available that are more compatible with the front end.
