Default C5 License Plate frames

Do you know if anyone sells C5 plate frames like the ones that come with the car but have university decorations on them? I could get an ordinary plate frame from anywhere... but I'm looking for one that is made for C5s so it basically replaces the factory frame...

... so basically a factory frame with univeristy decorations. I guess I could superglue stuff on it but that would be too cheesy..

Thanks for your input!!

DOOHH!! Even though i'm a Gator Alumni, i'm also a Yellow Jacket Alumni as well.... and since I have a UF plate... I'd like to put a Tech frame around it...

You love gator meat eh? Do you sprinkle some coCane on it?? lol

But do you know where I could get C5 frames?

God I can't wait till football season!!! You live in Atlanta don't you? I hope you atleast cheer for the White and Gold!

Hey! Now that you mention it, a buddy of mine has a GT license frame on his truck. I'll check with him on Monday.

Go Jackets!

I visited South Bend about 2 years ago. ND's campus looks really nice and well kept. It was awesome to see Touchdown Jesus in person!

Ya know it might be fun to have a Corvette get-together at one of the games.

While I am (of course) partial to the FSU-UF game, we could have it here in JAX for the FL-GA game since that is already a huge cocktail party anyway.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Any thoughts???

You know, that's not a bad idea at all. We could get everyone from the Florida, Georgia, and Alabama areas. You live in JAX right? We could crash at your place! How sweet would it look to have like 50 Vettes parked in the front of your house???
