Default Front license plate bracket

Can anyone suggest a source other than Top Flight Reproductions for a front license plate bracket for a C6Z06. Preferably a removable one.

Thanks

No one else drills holes! Thought they had sticky to hold them. A little heat and they pull off.

Will check with dealer. There was clearly no double stick tape with my bracket. Instructions call for drilling four holes in front bumper. Bracket design requires the four holes. I have modified the setup and have attached it to chin spoiler with two screws and run two zip ties through grill to slits in top of bracket.

I've now paid the ticket oh about 3 times. The judge finally told the jack *** who wrote the ticket to stop writing the ticket. But It cost me $82.00 ea time.

My take on this topic is that if you own a Corvette, you probably exceed the speed limit more than a couple of times a year. If you are going to break the law anyway, why worry about the front license plate. I certainly would not drill holes in my bumper. I know some people that carry the front plates around in the car and try to talk themselves out of a ticket, sometimes successfully. Heck, I know one guy that uses an obviously illegal European plate on the rear of his car and has yet to get a ticket.
