Default best front license plate cover for c4?

as much as I hate to, I think im going to put my front licenseplate on. This will require me to drill 4 holes and add screw clips.

What is the best license plate cover (yes a cover is legal in ohio) that best fits the c4s shape?

Does someone make a body contoured c4 specific front plate cover (like the front license plate filler, but clear) that wont hurt the lines or aerodynamics?

Yep....I bought an acrylic cover from Zip Corvette. With shipping it was $37. Follows the contours of the bumper nicely.

How do you like the looks of that Dan? I have the plate behind the T/R Cover, but I am getting nervous.

Now, if I could figure out a way to use that two way mirror stuff and some red LED lights to turn on when I am driving, so the plate would not show, and the cover would look red, I would be happy.

I've got one on my 96 coupe. Picked it up at Carlisle last year. I believe I got it from Corvette Central. Nice look, easy to install, no drilling. It fits right over where the original cover went.

My front plate is mounted behind my passenger seat at the floor.

No front plate, dark tinted windows, sometimes a heavy foot......what could possibly go wrong?

Not as well as the real bumper cover, but hey....the road pirates are cracking down. Will snap a pic of it when I get a chance.

I used the acrylic plastic cover from one of the vendors. After I put the license plate on I did not like the lines of the bumper and the indentation of the flat plate area. The plastic cover at least gives it some shape back. Even though its see through, you still see the outline of the bumper shape.
