Both of our C7's just have the simple statement on the holder that "my other car is a corvette" as the truth is the fact of corvette life...

I went to Pep Boys here in NY and they don't have it so I went on line with them and still can't find this product. Can you provide a manufacturer and part number for me so I can research where else I might find it? Thanks so much. Sting7 (Norm)

Default Decal Added to Plate

After reading the SC plate cover/holder law, found you could add a decal IF it did not obscure even a portion of any letter of number. Added a C7 logo. Same holds true for any plate cover/holder, it can not cover even a portion of a letter, such as the state or motto! SC Law overview are on the this PDF:
Note if you’re traveling through the State you can be stopped and given a $130 fine if your plate cover doesn’t comply with SC Law !http://netwelding.com/License_Plate_Frame.pdf

This flexible frame is made by Pilot Automotive, as posted in post #36:

Pep Boys in NY didn't have it. Can you tell me the brand and model number or name so I can Google it to find out where to buy? Really appreciate your help. Thanks, Sting 7 (Norm).

Did you do anything to keep the bottom of the frame from rattling since there are only screws in the top?

Here are images of the Carbon Flash colored license plate frame from Top Flight. It matches the existing paint perfectly and really adds to the look of the car.

Ordering from Top Flight was easy and I had my license plate frame within the week.

So classy....plate frames should be simple, not an ad space, IMO
