good luck with that, I have no front tag and get pulled alot for it. Do not put the tag in the front window, just leave it off.

I have not been able to find a tag bracket yet.

There is a frame that wraps around the plate and that is what holds the screws in place.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...te-filler.html

several forum vendors sell the partial surround in either black or body color

and same with the clear plastic part that fits like your original blank piece

the plate holes either match up to the top pair or the bottom pair of lugs

bottom is used with the partial surround deal
