FYI. Speed Lingerie is coming out with a removable license plate pocket option for their C6 bras. The plate goes into a pocket which zips onto the bra at the mesh grill cover. -JR

With the license front plate option can you still go without a plate ?? I mean if you were to get the one without the option of adding a plate then you wouldn't be able at all to add a plate so would it be better to get the one with the OPTION to add the plate? I don't know what the differences of appearances are between the two designs but there must be a way so that you can take the plate on and off at will depending on the situation.

Correct. If you get the bra with the RLP option you can take the plate on and off at will. The plate attaches to the bra, not our C6's. From the pictures I've seen, the bra looks the same except that the RLP option has a zipper at the grill mesh seam and two snaps above that on the nose of the bra. The plate pocket zips on at the bottom and snaps on at the top. Body colored snap covers are provided for when the plate is off.

No front plate in Calif for the last 30 years. No ticket. Lucky? But, I'll take a ticket before I put on that bracket!!!!

So far so good without one. It's in the trunk. The ticket here is $50.
I did some counting before I got my car. There were 20 vettes without, and 9 with, so I decided to take my chances.

Great solution!

For what it's worth... I saw a GT3 Porsche from British Columbia that has a sticker for a front plate. The owner told me he scanned his plate on a computer and made his own sticker. I might try the scan / sticker idea. Maybe I could make a few dozen stickers so I could periodically remove to front plate to avoid damage to the paint?
