Default Not So Easy Installation

Any helpful hints to mounting the removable front license plate bracket on the C6? The "Easy Insallation" is proving not so easy. YouTube isn't any help this time. It's one offered by Eckers and M-A Motorworks that doesn't require drilling. Having trouble with tight spaces and following the "Easy" instructions.

Buy the manual sto n go. I double face tape it under the bumper with the strong 3m moulding tape. works great.

I'm not familar with the one you're talking about, but I installed the West Coast Corvettes' Fast On/Off license plate bracket and it wasn't easy either. I didn't have a floor jack at the time which made it harder than it should have been.

I used a mirror and laid it on the ground so I could see under the car.

I think he already bought one. He's asking for advise on how to install it. Not suggestions for other license plate brackets.

How high are you raising the car? You need some working room so 10" ramps or jack stands are a minimum.
