I took it to show the wife at work after delivery and got a friendly wave from a red C7 on 128 outside Boston. And so it begins...

Does anyone have suggestions for a front license plate mount that will work with the ZR1 style splitter?

Screw it. Go without. I do and have never been ticketed for doing so in the past 25 years with several different cars.

I thought GM only made the CE in the color Carbon Flash Black. And then I could be wrong. Btw, the car looks black in pic. I should know, I have a 2013 Cybergray metallic Grandsport myself

Its carbon flash black metallic. The flake makes it look a little like a dark gray. It's a black base though.
