I always had run a front plate until i got the TS frontend but now i dont so i will just have to see what happens (6 months) no hassel yet.

There are alot of corvette in our club that dont have them and they have never had any trouble so maybe i wont i would just hate to put a front plate on my TS frontend.

I have one, Look close at my signature its a Clear Lens Housing painted around the state and Tag Number. In my opinion this is the next best thing to not having a plate. Plus it keeps me out of trouble (been pulled over way to much)

What is this Front Plate thing you speak of?
Living in Illinois … I’ve been lucky so far.

It makes the car look ugle and makes me sad.

But I have the front plate installed to make the Ohio State Troopers happy and to keep that $100 bucks in my pocket.
