Default Front Licence Plate

What is the best front licence plate holder sold on the market for a C6.
I need to purchase one...with regrets or ticket!!!
I looked at the show & Go style but you need to dill holes.
I would like a removable style for shows and cleaning.

Hope to hear from every one, thanks

"Best" is a very relative term. There are also many posts here about plate holders, with pros and cons of each. You might give the search feature a spin and see what comes up.

Easy install and then easy removal and back on for shows, clean up, etc.

Pay the ticket if & when! I'm in BC (having moved from a no front plate province) and no way I am putting it on. Unless they put you in jail in ONT for not adhering to the plate law, then honoring this one (for me) is a big pill to swallow. If your C6 is a dd between April & November then I guess I get it, maybe and only after a few tickets. But more seriously to your question a few guys here in the Interior have the hide-away plate and it is slick, on someone else's car that is.

I like mine. I'd rather not have a front plate but too many others around here have been ticketed. I take it off for car shows and waxing.

If you have to do it this is one if not the best alternative.

I recently bought my new '07 C6 and since Texas law requires the front plate I went with the topflight model after much research here. But....I can't bring myself to use it, just doesn't seem right.

So I have it stowed away and thought I might try to skate by with the smoke screen fib, "officer I just bought this front plate bracket and was on the way home to install it" If that doesn't work I'll pay the ticket and go from there.

Looks good on the car! Having the frame helps blend it in.

I keep my plate in the front with me plus the instructions on how to install the one from TFR. I just tell them GM is bankrupt so the supply chain is messed up and the bracket is backordered. So far I have sweet talked my way out of 2 tickets but am going to order the TFR removable bracket. They are really cracking down where I live and I'm sick of getting harrassed about it

Top Flight- Very easy install. Very secure mount. Very easy to take off/put on the plate.

Looks very nice, well as nice as a front plate can look.
