Default WTB front licence plate cover?

where does one find the cover that goes on the front of the car where the licence plate goes?

Ive seen a few on some online stores but theyre usually around $200 (or more) which seems damned ridiculous for a small bit of painted plastic!!

where can I buy one (preferably already painted) for my silver C5?

Your best chance of getting one is to put a WTB on this forum: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ale-wanted-53/

Pretty much three choices: new at $240 in matched color, used from the parts page -- as knewblewkorvette suggested, probably $50 to $100, or a matched profile clear cover you can paint to match -- but does not say corvette -- for $25 (plus the paint, of course).
Color matched new:

Check with either the C5 Parts for Sale section or contact a forum used parts vendor to see if they have one in the color you need.
