There should have been one frame delivered with every car that came off the lot. I know of many that did not . Sitting in some dealers closet.

Some of you are missing the point-he wants metal. Not the OEM plastic, but he wants it to fill in the gap between the frame and the reverse lights.

NONE of the frames fill it in 100% BUT...





I was trying to find a better photo, but couldn't. I purchased it a few years ago. It's metal and from MidAmerica Motorworks, BUT it's for a C6-it fills in the gap a bit better. The C6s don't have the reverse lights there so they made the frames bigger.

My solution was to epoxy the smoked plate cover to the frame. The whole assembly is now held on by the 4 plate screws. Thanks for

everyone's help.
