The c6 is from North Carolina so they don't run front plates. I have been wanting to remove mine and putting on a filler but I would probably get a ticket.

I could do without the "Jake" sticker on the front of the C6, otherwise both cars look great!

Texas has front plate laws, but nobody pays attention to them. In 25 years I've only had one cop (state line border patrol) say anything about my not having one, and I think he was just using it as an excuse to see if I was carrying drugs or something.

The answer was get rid of the pop up head lights, because, lay the windshield back more and give it more frontal opening for air flow. What you see is what you get.

Oh, both cars look great and thanks for posting.
Thanks man I actually did not know that.
