I need to learn how to take pictures though. I've seen some of you guys with beautiful photos. I'm clueless when it comes to cameras, I just press that damn button.

Yep. For most vehicles, you just simply put the screw on. I'm always paranoid when it comes to plastic (the housing in this case) because I hate any chance of snapping them. The vette's plate housing is like a perfect fit though, I like it very much.

Changing license plates
On the C5, unlike the back licese plate cover that requires you to place a thin bladed screwdriver in four slots, two on each side about one inch from the top and bottom, then you push in toward the sides and the clip is released, the front cover is held in place by the license plate itself so when you remove the two lower screws, the license plate and plastic cover remove together. As someone else said, the tabs in the back are not very strong so be careful.

ok how do you put a plate on the front of a C5? i took the plastic "corvette" cover off, i see only two holes at the bottom of where you'd put a plate, if was to line it up with those, the plate doesn't fit in the area provided? Do you have to puncture holes in the top section? Or go to GM and get a whole bracket for it? ANd i've noticed my C4 is the same....do i have to puncture it or order bracket for it too?
