I just noticed that with the grill going across the entire front of the car, where is the front plate going to go for those who need it?

c5s look ok as the palte fits in but it doesnt seem the c6 has that spot for it!

I'm sure there will be an accessory bracket like there is with other cars. My NSX and 74 each had one, fortunately I live in a state that doesn't require a front plate.

Right in the middle, to obstruct airflow and make it aerodynamically inefficient! :reddevil :p:

Does anyone actually put one on ?

State requires it and I don't need the hassle, so yes. :yesnod:

And don't forget to make it a better target for radar guns, too! :eek:

BTW, I run my front plate all the time, because I don't want to give the revenuers any reason to stop me. When I was much younger (and maybe a little unwiser) during the 55-mph national speed limit, I ran this plate: YGO55. It was noticed by so many nice people in uniforms that I went back to a regular plate after six months, although I never got a ticket because of it. :bs

I just got ticketed for not having the front plate on (car was just parked at a meter on the street), so I'm going to have to put it on so that I can get the ticket signed-off by a police officer. I haven't really looked at how to get the "Corvette" plate off, but how does it come off? Do I have to buy anything to put the license plate on? I plan on taking it back off after I show the officer. Thanks for any help. :)

I rarely see any here, even though it's the law. I don't want to get hassled either but I think it ruins the look. If I get a ticket I'll temporarily put it on and take it back off after the ticket is dismissed. :yesnod:

I was ticketed for no front license plate in Maryland when I had a C4. Now I always have a front license plate on.

Now if the C6 has the front fascia that I expect, it will have a bracket and cover part of the intake opening. Then I will go back to no front plate. If I get pulled over, I will just grab the front plate from behind the passenger seat and put it on the passenger dashboard. I will back it with felt so that it does not scratch the dash.

Two torx screws at the bottom edge. You have to be careful trying to get them loose and not scratch the bumper. Then there are two tabs at the top.

I'm taking tomorrow off from work, so I'll give it a shot.

This has turned into more of a project than I expected, because I found out that I need to purchase a bracket for the license plate. The first dealership I called told me that GM doesn't make one, then I called a second dealership that has one in stock. They're holding it for me. Hope the second one is correct.

Thanks for the info! :seeya

NY requires a front plate, but the cops usually don't bother people about it. The front plate is on my 84, it's just under the nosemask. My dad put the front plate on his 90 because the previous owner had it there, so he just put his new one there.

In Ohio front plates are required. I have not put mine on my '03 coupe yet. I know that I am courting a $70.00 ticket if I get stopped by one of our State Patrol officers or the cop mentioned in the "Rumor" below.

Rumor has it that a Columbus Freeway cop whose name sounds like "Miller" who just loves to harrass Corvettes and other high performance cars by stopping and giving them tickets for not having a plate affixed to the front of the bumper. Some folks put them in the front winshield - Tackey - and some folks put them on the spoiler. Neither tricks work with that Columbus Freeway cop. (No grace period either - just pay the $70.00 and put the plate on too.)

I got nailed in Columbus area a couple of years ago(in my 99 coupe). $90 I started running a front plate after that :(

Haven't been bothered in my NSX(yet).

who cares?

:confused: How do you know that the grill is across the entire front of the car?
