Default Removable front license plate bracket-Recommendations

Bought a 2013 Z06 with a carbon front splitter. Because I live in a two plate state, I know that sooner or later I will need to install a front license plate bracket. I drive the car primarily to car shows so I am looking for a bracket that is easily removable. The front splitter precludes me from using a "pop up" type bracket.

Thanks for your help.

These work very well and if you purchase the optional license frame to match your car's color they will look like factory mounts.

Do a search for I A Products. I'm using their quick release front bracket. It will work on the stock air dam or the Zr1 splitter.

I agree. If you look for their web site you can see my posts as to what problems I had. It also has butterfly nuts that are easily removed for shows. I thought it would be a pain but its not really. In fact once it was on I never have had it off.

I've got the one from top flight on my car. Easy to take off when you feel like it, quick to put back on

I went with the plate bracket from H&K vette accesories. I like the placement and the form a lot better than the top flight model. This doesn't require sticky tape, or visible modifications when you take the plate off. I did not even use the additional plastic pop clips and it held securely at a "decent" speed.

I can remove it with 1 1/4" socket wrench of nut driver that is easily kept in the car.
