i just got it installed.. found some spare screws laying around.. i feel nervous about someone ripping it off though, it is on with only the two screws..

Has anyone secured theirs on somehow? i just dropped $150 bucks on it and dont want it gone

Do license plate fillers get stolen often where you live...?

Not really.. im paranoid i guess..

On the bottom of the filler, you can easily grasp the bottom and just rip it off.. Im sure some punk would like a cool wall decoration with 'corvette' on it..

Lighten up a bit. You'll ruin your Vette experience by being paranoid about everything!

Well, to make sure no one steals it, you could do what I did with mine:

If Utah requires a front plate, just install that, and no one will steal it.

You still coule do this to yoru front bumper, and get a 'Hide-away' licence plate holder that disappears when you don't want it shown!

I live in SC, and we do not require either front plates or vehicle inspections!
