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
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.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.
My dealer installed mine just like yours. I had ordered the GM holder but this looks much better and discrete.Sad part to me is they had another option for install of front plate.

Nice car ... the front plate holder kills it. Other none OE options available that are more compatible with the front end.This was in the parking lot of the hotel for the Northland 50th Anniversary Corvette Conference being held in Alberta.

Sorry, but my rant is not done. DON'T PUT A PLATE ON THE FRONT OF YOUR CAR!! Ok, I can't guarantee it, but I think my rant is done. Don't make me rip the plate off your car!!!WHY DO PEOPLE PUT THE PLATE ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR!! My C8 is almost 3 years old. My front plate is in my trunk. I paid $120k for my car, so I sure as hell can afford a couple of $150 tickets each year for missing plate and you know what..........I HAVE NEVER HAD A COP STOP ME!! That front plate looks like s**t!! There is my rant!!
Some of us are not looking for a invitation to be interrogated by "The Man". Good luck to you money bags.
LOL. You can probably buy some black silicon at Home Depot and squeeze it into those 2 screw holesGreat story Fonzie. I wish I possessed the the "Cool Factor" that you have inherited. Potsie must look up to you...
Thanks for the TicToc hack. I'm so outta touchLOL. You can probably buy some black silicon at Home Depot and squeeze it into those 2 screw holes
lol... You are out of touch. I know a lot of drivers in Ont who have never had a plate on the front of their ride and never had a problem. Much like my tinted side windows on my Vettes and my daily. Totally illegal here in AB and have never turned a head in 14 years on my daily and 12 years on my Vettes...Thanks for the TicToc hack. I'm so outta touch...
Agree. I have 2 friends who are cops and they said they would never pull someone over just for a plate issue. If you are pulled over for say speeding, they may ticket you for no plate, but who speeds in a Corvette!!! LOLlol... You are out of touch.
