I put mine on the dash to avoid putting the front plate bracket on. law says the plate has to be mounted on the front of the vehicle but it does not say where
Morgan may as well not carry it, definitely a ticket if anyone comes after you
Ask me how I know this You will in all likelihood get a few warnings first though so you may have a few years of no front plate bliss ahead of you.
While the buffoons spend 80% of their clips torturing their followers with baiting and howling you deliver good quality concise information. Keep up your humble honest approach.

Great video Phil and Morgan. Could you give us an update after around 5k to see how they have held up. They look pretty low and wondering how they will hold up under normal driving.

I wonder if that underbody kit can be purchased separately. Love how clean it looks and how clean it will keep a lot of the underside parts.

Great job Morgan! You look more comfortable with every new video. I can't get enough C8 content.

I luv the rearview mirror is really a camera and allows you to adjust 3 zoom levels and I think 7 or so camera tilt angles.... And from a video I saw next to no blind spots!!!!

Awesome video.
I always felt that it is dangerous to have License Plate wedged there, in event of hard braking etc it can become airborne and the edges are pretty sharp.

Highway Traffic Act, Regulation 628
On your dash is not the front of the vehicle.
Also, if you crash, you now have a flying knife in the cabin of your car.
You don't need to use the front bracket. There are mounting points built into the bumper.
Drill the screws into the raised squares. They match the locations of the holes in the plate.
Either that or put your plate in the frunk or trunk. Having a plate in your windshield is more obvious than not having a plate at all.
Morgan and EJ,
This guy just got a ticket $110 for those ugly dealership frames that most dealers are obsessed to put on. Morgan I have noticed your new C8 has one on it but you chose that as they are your employer, I will clearly state not to put one on my corvette as I believe it's not appropriate for many reasons ( looks, they don't pay me to advertise for them, illegal, rattles etc...) even worse is the dealers who stick a badge on the paint

Those decals really are the most annoying thing out there. I'm happy that we don't put them on any car. No one wants to see them. We do have plate frames. I will be discussing with Bill himself on the ramifications of having them on the vehicle.
I have had one customer request we do not install them on his car, instead to put them in the trunk.

We don't put plate brackets on our vettes and i have gone 4 years in a vette driving all over the province and never once had a cop give me a ticket for no front plate. in fact i have been pulled over and given a speeding ticket and he didn't care. most cops are car guys and understand that giving your car chicklets in the front ruins the look. this is my opinion so don't take it too seriouslyMorgan and EJ,

thanks buddy, i appreciate that
Very informative pictures. Thanks EJChevy.
"Drill the screws into the raised squares"?
No pre-drilled holes?
They use to have square holes there where you could snap a nylon nut into them. I took my plates off to polish my car so many times the nylon nut would get stripped. Then I would just pop it out and put a new one in.
There must be a better way?
What are the two holes/nylon nuts in the middle for?
Those two mounting points are actually metal. They are for mounting the bracket (it just screws on).

I'm going to use nylon standoffs to mount the front plate. Here's a sample of what you can buy from AMazon Amazon product ASIN B073ZC6PB9
