Have a top flight and it works great, actually this is my second one, the first was for a coupe and this one is for a GS.

I like the Top Flight. I am one of the ones who thinks the plate looks better centered on the car Vs off to the side. Although the wide body cars are front Vs bottom breathers there is no issue with the plate blocking air flow into the radiator at normal highway speeds. I always remove the plate when I go to the track since there could be an issue at 150 mph. I would worry about any non stock mount holding up to the high air pressure and buffeting seen by the plate when it isn't solidly mounted like the stock plate mount does. I can just imagine the hideaway plate holder that swings the plate under the fascia ripping off at that speed.

Well, different strokes for different folks. I disagree. The plate mounted in the middle of the grill is butt ugly IMO. The side mount is not beautiful by any means but looks better to me!
Wish I didn't have to run one at all but yesterday I ran through a police road block (other direction being checked), took the long way back home and immediately ordered the Zip plate holder. Don't want to pay a $150 ticket for no front plate.

So are you saying that if it is mounted in the middle where it looks better that it will block airflow, causing a "problem" with your Vette? If this is true about the center mounted plate causing a problem could you site some techical information that supports the need for the off set plate.

I don't need a front plate here in AZ, but my .02; why not just drill 2 holes in the front spoiler on the GS and mount the plate with the 2 bottom holes. The front spoiler gets it's share of destruction anyway.

I bought one and the install wasn't an issue.
I found out later they can be had for $30 bucks less.. Shop around before you buy.

IMO this side mount looks much better! Comes on and off in seconds.
