The OEM nose wart bracket is just glued on. I sure hope that's all that happened.
P/o lived in NY (2 plate state) and Florida (1 plate) his OEM bracket was unfortunately screwed into the bumper. I did not want to get the bumper repainted because I was worried about mismatch that you can clearly see from the hood against the front bumper.i just used black GE silicone and filled the holes in. I have a black car so it does not look too bad. For now this will do. Lousy design. My C4 was better hidden by the cover.
Take the license plate off and see if you can see any screws, if not it is only held on by 3 round pads of double face tape. I have the identical OEM bracket that was given to me by the previous owner and never installed. I chose to go with a removable one instead.
Had one on my 13 GS when I purchased it. Went out one day and just started pulling on it. It popped right off, used a little goo gone to clean up the remaining double sided tape on the bumper and now you can't even tell it was ever on there.
If someone actually drilled holes and screwed one on they need to slapped!
That's awesome! I would of freaked out, cursed out everyone, thrown a tantrum, maybe pushed over a few things, and then looked like a total @** when there was a simple solution to the whole problem. I'm not advising that, but that's just how I roll.
So anyway...I stopped there yesterday to check on the car and it was almost finished. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe the quality of the finish...they did nose, hood, both fenders...it looks like glass, no orange peel,
So I have a question. Were the panels painted on the car or off? If ANYTHING was painted on the car it is not a high end job. Second, having a no orange peel finish is a dead give away that paint work was done because it will not match the rest of the car. Some orange peel has to be left behind and a great body shop would know this.

Really .... I don't know what kind of crappy paint job you have on your corvette but my torch red does not have any orange peal at all
As a matter of fact neither does my wife's black AMG or my daughter's Nissan Altima or my 2014 black metallic Tarius
If I must have a plate on the C6 I would go with Top Flight's mount. It just leaves the mount attached under the bumper and then you attach the plate part when needed. I had one attached to my GS in Utah (two plate state) but rarely used the plate. Although I heard some states enforce the two plate rule if your state has that rule.
Well now your hair is longer and I obviously don't know what orange peel is ..... and ever car that has had paint work done without removing the panels is crappy .....
I have some land I would like to sell u in Florida
Sky High....don't know what planet you are from...but you should fly back there and stay. I love these warm fuzzy's that come in with neg comments to exacerbate an honest post. Probably masturbating while they are typing.
The panels were painted off the car. for your info...I have own 3 c5's and 3 c6's in the last 10 years, mosty red. There has not been a shred of orange peel on any of them. I personally detailed this car before the accident and know every surface. My buddy at Maaco matched the paint perfectly and I am ecstatic.
