Default ALMS plate frame

I can't find a frame I like, so I was considering this. Do you think it's too cheap looking for a C6 (black)?

Doesn't GM make accessory license plate frames that are painted body color?...Those would be much better than this one IMO.

I think it needs some type of frame.

It's more tacky than "Wrap your *** in fiberglass!"??

Very Tacky & cheap! Basically says that the Vette is a wanabee European car.

The Corvette has enough heritage & credentials on it's own. It does not need to state these tacky comments.

Now if we just concentrate on convincing people that flames & stripes are for the most part tacky, then we will be on the right track.
