Honestly, I've never thought about putting either of those things on any of my cars.

This is what I have on the front of my Caddy. "Corvette Mike" seems fitting I think that is enough though.

(Before you say it... I know the blue fog lights need to be removed. Been spending too much time on the Vette to get them off)

No, the plate frame is from the dealership "Corvette Mike New England" lol My father has purchased a few cars from him. Figured it was fitting to add.

I have that frame on the wall on my garage. I had it on my old Winter beater on 2003 when I bought my Z. That car is long gone and now I have a 2013 CTS coupe to go with the Vette. I won't be putting that frame on it!

My son bought me one for Christmas a couple years ago. I put it on my STS, what's more important, worrying about what license plate frame you have on a car, or accepting a gift from someone who wants to give you a present with your vette in mind?

I love this forum, it gives everyone the chance to act like 10 again.

I've thought about it, just never felt comfortable doing it. That's why I posed the question.

I used to drive an '03 Mustang GT as my daily driver and I put one of those on it to mess with the Ford boys.

I like the idea of the frame but I agree that it would come across to some people as arrogant. Now, a simple Corvette word logo or crossflags on your other vehicle may be a good compromise.
