Default License plate frame?

Dumb ?? My dad just purchased his first vette brand new "09", my recent purchase of an 80 L82 rekindled his interest. Question where can I find a Quality plate frame? My dad is very proud of his 40+ years of Special forces service, and has installed a $5 plastic special forces frame on his plate, my mom would like to purchase a proper frame for such a pretty car, any ideas would be great! She would like to get it before his birthday Oct. 30, thanks for any help you can offer. Todd

I assume you are referring to the frame that holds the license plate, rather than the chrome bezel which is mounted permanently to the car. If so, Rik's Corvette Parts sells a chrome frame with the year printed at the top and "CORVETTE" printed at the bottom. It is part number TAG660 and cost $15. Be sure to specify what year you want on the frame. Webpage at RIKSVET@RIKSVET.COM ; phone 1-888-745-7838. I'm sure there are other vendors who sell the same (or similar) items, but that's the catalog that I have in hand.

Here's one that looks promising:

If anyone knows where I can get one that says, "Who cares what my other car is?" let me know.

raytonium, thanks thats what she was looking for! Only my dad would put a $5 piece of crap on a $60k car, but maybe being cheap is how he could afford the car?

Try eBay for a special forces frame. It may mean something to him.
Or get a stock frame. Nothing looks better than that.
