Put mine on this morning. Fast service! If this was Ebay I'd give you all those silly A+'s.

As I said in my previous post, I'm a bit paranoid about losing another front plate even though this does have a whole lot more tape than the factory job. There are two pre-drilled holes in the mount that I used for 2 stainless cap screws into the upper opening. They are invisible and I feel better.

Thanks for a quality product.

Peter,

I just wanted to let you know that I received a ton of compliments at a show I was entered in today (of course, pictures to follow) for the Top Flight Bracket and plate frame. Thank you for making such a great product. I sent a bunch of people your way today. I hope something comes of it for you.

Finally put mine on, after having it promptly delivered a couple of months ago...yeah, I procrastinate sometimes...

The threads here got me going again, as well as the fact that we're running out of +60 degree weather here in Wisconsin, and that's what's recommended in the instructions for good adhesion.

Great quality, nice fit and function. The removable version is great for those of uis who really should be running a front plate, but can't stand to do so most of the time.

Thanks, and glad to hear you'll be selling extra wing nuts. I got this feeling I may be needing some by next season!

I got my removable Top Flight Reproductions front bracket over a month ago but my personalize license plates just came in last week. Finally, the local police will stop staring at me when I go by. I have friends that don't mount their C6 front plates but I'm chicken. The Top Flight Bracket suit me perfectly.

Great product and affordable pricing.

Just one "no front plate" ticket changed my mind. I now own one. Easy to put the plate on and remove (about 30 seconds) with virtually no difference in the way the car looks without a front plate.

Here is where I got mine: http://www.topflightrepro.com/C6_FrameBlack.htm

Of course, to make it look like mine you need the mounting hardware to go with it, also at http://www.topflightrepro.com

Yes, but why would you do that?

Ordered mine (plain, no color coordinated bracket) and it came within a week. Fast and easy installation, very secure. Looks a whole lot better than that factory POS that came with the car. Very knowledgeable and courteous customer support. Good product at a reasonable price. Can't beat that!

I got mine on friday; I just put it on today...looks amazing. I can't believe it! It goes on in 5 minutes, no joke! It looks better than anything I've ever seen for mounting a front plate on your vette. I also bought the colored license plate frame, to compliment the color of my color. Its a great product! Worth all the $$.

Thanks Peter!

I saw one in person over the weekend. I hate to say this but I almost think that the TF color frame with plate enhances the front end look.
Why didn't GM come up with this?

Does this plate sit high enough to be legal in CA? I remember as a teenager with a very low VW bug, I got a ticket for my plate being under the minimum height requirements for a california. I think it was 12" off the ground to the center of the plate or something like that.

It looks great! I'll probably order one because I just got a $100 fix it ticket while parked in SF.
