I just finished installing the front plate bracket and it looks great. Only thing is it was hard remounting the bracket with the wing nuts. also the slits in the lock washers kept slipping into the licence plate holes making torque difficult. All problems were overcome and Im happy with the results.

Do you all have any european front tag brackets? I didn't see them on the website. I you just go to the dealership here they use zip ties for putting it on the front grill that doesn't seem like that would be very good for the cars temp etc. not to mention using zip ties on a ZO6 seems extremely ghetto to me...

Hi Budster, we have sold a lot to US Military in Europe, I think they have a smaller plate than the standad European plate which we do not offer a solution for at this time.

Hey thanks for the reply but we get the regular european plate (at least for the front anyway) the back is the weird smaller plate you are talking about but the front is the normal european long plate. So you don't have any regular european front tag brackets?

Not at all. You can remove the adhesive by using a piece of monofilament line and make several knots about an inch apart.

Seeing as that is my car on the first pic of this thread (still love looking at it), I guess I should chime in. Anyone on the line about this product should put it to rest and just buy it. You will not find a better designed front plate mount anywhere and the ease of taking it off and on is fantastic. When viewed in life, I think the plate looks as good as a front plate can look on one of these cars.It looks like the plate holder was really designed for the car instead of tacked on. The other beauty of it is that there are no holes or permanent modifications to your car. It is without a doubt the best front plate system for C6 that I have seen and I have seen a lot of different commercial and home-made attempts.

I GOT THIS EXACT STEUP!

NOTE: I had to go to advance auto to find some longer screws because the ones that came with the kit were too small to be able to fit a lens cover

Truly, with all due respect...Nearly $100 for a color matched license plate frame?

Is this a space age material...or something?

What's up with that?

Personally paying 90+ dollars for a colored frame is not for me. I went ahead and bought this
"indestructible smoke-colored" plastic license plate cover (that's bendable btw) at Advance Auto for $6.99 and it looks like the Red Z06 above!!!
