My general feeling is that most cops won't pull you over just for that, but if you're doing something else stupid they might decide to add that to the laundry list.

Most of the attempts to keep from just mounting the front plate using the factory trim plate just end up focusing more attention on the area and looking worse.
The simple black trim plate compliments the rest of the black trim on the car (particularily on the Z06). If your state requires a front plate, just put it on with the factory trim and be done with worring about it.

Front Plate Options...?
I live in Virginia and a front plate is required. I've not had a plate on the front of any car or truck since 1985 including my vette. Never been stopped nor have I ever been asked about it except by other vette owners. It is zero points on the license and a mechanical fix-it-ticket so I'll keep taking my chances.

I've been pulled over a few years ago in my Cutlass, no ticket just a verbal warning. It did not cost any $ but it did waste my time while the cop 'checked things out' Ever since then I've put it on. Just one more reason to give em to pull you over.

Wonder if those clear covers would be considered something that alters the appearance of the plate?
