I bought this one a while back. Hope to never put it on, but I have it if I need to. I bought the removable one.

I use this one from forum vendor, Zip. Works well when needed.

Simple to install. Good luck!

I bought the frame from a vendor and made the bracket from spare parts I had in the garage.

There's a sto n go plate setup that cost's around 49 bucks.Goes under the bumper.Pull it up when you need it and leave it down when you don't.They also make a power version.

Default C6 grand sport front plate holder

thanks for the help, the dealer knew diddly squat about any of this, and sported a Chevrolet ring and told me he'd been there 30 years. What a crock of....s......t fs................out

Why not just throw it in the back. If you get pullover tell them this is what came with the car and it fell off and you are headed to buy some new two sided tape

That will not work for the Z06 or Grand Sport. Will only work on a base C6. OP stated he has a 2013 GS.


Top Flight bracket is expensive, but works great. I put slots in the bracket to ease installation and removal. I also moved it from center to side, to maximize air flow into radiator

I have the Europlate option for you
requires some trimming of the plate itself but this is an option

Look at thedoubleaa.com (Forum vendor). It goes between the splitter and the front bumper. You simply take three screws out, slip the bracket in, and replace the screws. Easy!

Default front plate GS 2013

I'm just throwing it in the trunk and when parked, put it on the front using double sided tape. Besides the front looks to awesome without a plate anyway. Anyone giving me a ticket ain't human!
