bought one of these because i live in ohio where i have gotten tickets before for driving my vette with no front license plate. This bracket is easily removable...bought it on ebay...I have no relationship with this other than bought one. $80 includes shipping.

Down side is the bracket reduces ground clearance by 1/2". this is for Z07 front splitter equipped cars only right now.

here is a link to install instructions and photos.

I bought this car new in November 2013 and still carries the same dealer plate today.. That $30.00 fix it ticket every so often is way cheaper than a red light photo ticket by about $450.00. Just sayin'

Jealous though, I'm still waiting on my new Z06. Still at 1100 with CFV constraint. Supposedly to release next week, uh-huh.

That's a nice bracket.

I had something similar on my C6 but it was all plastic and I probably only lost 1/8" of clearance.

The bracket below is about the same price and looks like it may be the same thing.

Is this about the only option we have so far on the Z06 with stage 2/3 splitter? I really liked the motorized Show-N-Go with remote that used to work on the C6 ZR1...

Yup same thing but the one you link to is not for Z06. The mfg just got the Z06/Z07 completed and is finding Z06 without front splitter to be more of a challenge according to EBay seller.

Fix it ticket? $30?

$30.00 ? Surprised that's all it is.

Easy to install and remove front plate.....

Looks like a good alternative and also keeps grill airflow unrestricted.

In that view, it looks like the plate hangs below the front splitter. Does it really? Would get ripped off backing out of driveway.

Is that the 1 from southerncarparts ??

RoketRdr

Yes it does which is why I wouldn't install one. If you click on the link in the first post you can see that it mounts under the splitter and hangs below. I prefer to use the Rho Plate mount that screws in where the tow hook installs and gives a ton of adjustment/placement.

Like the looks of the rhoplate. Have you installed one on the vette? Would like to see how it looks and know that it actually fits the vette tow hook mount.

RoketRdr

Its specifically cut for the Vette tow hook threads. Here's the link. http://www.rhoplate.com/product-chevrolet.html

Here's a thread of the prototype installed on a Z06. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-bracket.html

The Mercado Ind carbon fiber version is very popular. It removable, light weight and it does block the air flow to the rad. I have one for my ZR1 and believe it is the best option for me.
No drilling, and it does not hang below the front spoiler.

It is available at Corvette Central, a forum sponsor / vendor.

Here’s what comes with it

I run the Aero plate on the front here in Illinois. Curved and integrates into the grill nicely.
