I can't think of many cars that a front plate ruins the looks of more than it does the C6.

I got stopped by a NYS Trooper about 3 weeks ago for no front plate. Young guy, he let me off after examining the C6. He said he was glad to see it had an MN6. I plan to put the front plate on after I spray the frame to match the Mag Red of the car. I'm sure if I was speeding I would have gotton 2 tickets. Local police don't really care about front plate-but you have to be concerned about the State Troopers - I was lucky my guy was a car buff!

I blanked out my plate, but that brings up a question. Lots of people seem to like blanking out their plate number, but is that really necessary? People can see your plate on the road, so why worry about it on the internet? Is blocking your plate number really something we need to worry about???

All the "Lose the plate!" and criticisisms of front plate aesthetics don't mean a damned thing if the poor SOB lives in a state where they're required and where you get ticketed without one.

The key is to make it as low and unobtrusive as possible and, like any of our own physical imperfections, live with it and enjoy the ride.

Both acts defy the law and are done intentionally with the knowldege of assumption of risk, but it's a helluva lot easier to slow down when you spot a cop than it is to run out and stick on a plate.

Anyway, to each his own.

If you're willing to eat the cost of a ticket to preserve aesthetics, I'm with ya.

If you want to put on the plate, I'm with ya on that as well.

Fortunately, for me the issue is purely academic.
