Not bad looking but kind of fragile looking compared the the Top Flight Repro holder.

I don't run a front bracket/plate at this time - but, if/when I do...I'll go with Top Flight's bracket. By comparison, I'd say TF's bracket is better designed and of higher quality.

I'm very happy with my Top Flight set-up. These photos were taken approx 1 minute apart ...

Have to say the Top Flight looks a lot better.

Don't have one yet, but always liked the Corvette Central plate holder's looks, leaving some of th grill exposed. Would this help Vararam?

I bought one just like it from Eckler's. Mine is made out of aluminum. Otherwise the exact same. Mounting is going to be very tricky if you buy one. They really look great being a little lower. Trying to get behind bumper grill to install is gonna be tuff. You have to get to it underneath where there's very little room to work. I won a Top Flight on the St. Jude auction. This will be the unit I will use. Anyone want to buy my other one? Paid $74.99, will sell for much less. Oh well.....
