Our bracket is priced considerably lower than other after market solutions and is made in the USA .
I hope my post didn't raise some defensive feelings over your product. I looked at the other brackets before I ordered yours and have no regrets. It's a quality product and looks very simple to install.

To me, it's not a question of which solution to buy. It's more a matter of shall I mount a front plate or not? I'm sure many would agree when I suggest the best "look" for the front of a C6 is no plate (or bracket) at all.

It's simply a matter - for me anyway - of economics. If I get stopped for no front plate, well, I still have the bracket I ordered. Spending another $100 for a frame, even though it matches the color and contours of my car, after spending a similar amount for the bracket is just more than I care to spend for something I really didn't want in the first place.

Thanks for your understanding. I'll continue to follow your "ads" on this forum hoping for a sale sometime.

Hi Phil, thank you for purchasing one of our front license plate brackets. I do understand that most people would prefer to not run a front plate however we do what we do for peace of mind and to not be harassed by the leo's . In regards to the cost of the GM colored frame, the price increased well over a year ago when GM went up in price, not much we could do, sorry.

It's hard to spend $200 bucks for something you don't want when there is so much I do want. But, I will be ordering one soon. BTW it's the $90 plastic frame that gets me, there's a brass painted one for less but don't know if would fit. Oh well.

The brass frame should fit fine, you will need to pre-form it so the it has the same contour as the license plate bracket

Put it on this morning. Cleaned with mineral spirits, then alcohol sent with it. Used a block of wood to rub back and forth and put pressure on bracket. Then wedged block between top and bottom of grill opening to hold pressure on bracket for about an hour before mounting plate and frame. Looks good but would not have put a front plate on if LEO hadn't started to bug me.

Anyway GOOD product, easy to use, good design. It's to my thinking the best looking. BTW the GM frame is way more flexible the other frames I've seen, so it fits the contour of the bumper real nice.

Thanks again

I got a $77 fine in Iowa. Went to look for the one I bought two years ago and couldn't find. Ordered another - put on - then found. Artic White frame - make offer if anyone interested in one.

It's not a problem, air flows around the bracket. Many people have posted on this forum stating that they saw temp increase with the bracket mounted

Did this on purpose during last week's trip to Carlisle. 500 miles down front plate off. 500 miles return, plate on. Same outside weather conditions. Coolant temps stayed consistantely the same between both trips.

if coolant temp rising, air is being restricted from the intake also.
