License plate help
Unfortunately, we need to put a front license plate on our 2001 C5. Question is, how do you remove the cover that is there so the plate can be added? I don't want to force it and potentially damage it or the bumper.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you DAWS C5...the cover is off and now I need to go buy some screws to hold on the front plate and I'm done. I would never have found those screws without the help of the forum.

New Question
Now that the front plate is on...boy is it ugly 
Nothing like putting a green and white plate on a black car. Does anyone make anything that can help clean this area up a little so it does not look quite so bad? Some kind of frame or something.

Something you may want to consider is getting a painted license plate surround for the front. Kewl sells them and they look very nice.
