Only going to use one in the rear, but I don't want it to look tacky.

What do you guys think of this on a '08 LT3 CRM

this one actually looks better IMO, but does it matter for C5s vs C6s?

90 without the vette logo/sign? Not sure about that. I really like the corvette logo and I think a lighter aluminum or chrome may contrast the crystal red pretty nice on the license plate.

Seems very plain, but very clean. I dont know.

I don't like license plate frames. They don't do anything except trap dirt.

Plates are painted right out to the edge and the corners are rounded. Why does this need covering up?

Entaille

may as well get one of those cheesey CHEVROLET or CORVETTE windshield banners to go with it.

sorry, not a fan of things that re-state the obvious and add more branding.

BullittEV

No frame? Will give it a thought. Hows it look?

I wouldn't go that far... a license plate frame isn't stating the obvious like a windshield decal would be.. I'd say the frame is staying loyal to the uniqueness of the vette without going "ricer" (like the banner).

I'm more of a body colored tag frame fan.

Simple and clean:

I don't understand why some folks feel compelled to scream "Corvette" louder. Do you think folks feel confused about the model/brand they are driving? Do owners think other drivers that are behind you can't see all the other Corvette signage on your car or otherwise recognize a vette? What are you trying to communicate?

OP if you don't want to appear "tacky" and really want a frame, I'd recommend a chrome or color matching frame that is simple and of clean design. Frankly, I prefer a bare plate.

License plates are tacky to begin with: don't make them more tacky.

but I don't like the looks of the cheap license plate either. So I have this:

I would go this route. Please not chrome or "CORVETTE", IMHO

Depends if your going for a contrasting color scheme, Mine is black and chrome and simplicity.
Wall-Mart black, lightly sanded, then 2 coats of chrome spray paint.

Mine vet is silver, and with enough other black parts on the back of the car, just went down to Wal-mart to pick up a steel thin boarder black 2 bolt license frame and two Black mounting bolts (spent a whole $14 if I remember correctly, including the 2 black bolts).

Since I need to drive on base once in while, and they require a front plate, broke down and spent the big bucks on the front air dam type placement mount to mount the front plate there (guards can see it as I am pulling up to the gate, and don't get flack for not having a front plate.

Not So Fast

Same here on my GS, it indicates a certain model and see nothing cheesy about that, I've always put license plate frames on every car I've ever owned, looks unfinished IMHO.
Now the replication of the flags in-between the exhaust pipes is not for me, if I do something there it will be a black filler plate.
But hey, if it floats your boat then that's all that matters right ?
