Any air flow that gets blocked is not an issue on streets or highways. If you are doing a lot of driving in the 120+ mph region then it might be an issue. But then you can remove the plate. It will not be an issue on a road course as they don't require plates and if you are doing those kinds of speeds on the road the lack of a plate will be the least of your problems.

I was skeptical about putting such a large blockage in front of the main air inlet; however I have found it makes no significant difference on the highways, even on warm days. On the other hand, it helps to warm the oil quicker on cool/cold days.For track days, it comes off.
Cheers,
Jim

To all the "Doubting Thomases" out there: I've been running the removeable front license bracket from www.topflightrepro.com (yes, MD is a two-plate state and the LEOs look for that damn front tag all the time) since I took delivery of the car in 2006 and have experienced no over-heating or other cooling issues whatsoever when running the front plate, even in 100+ degree weather with the a/c running. These are still Chevys engineered and built for the street, not NASCAR COTs or F1 Ferraris.

As I said on the street it really isn't an issue. It isn't an issue on the drag strip either as the car doesn't run long enough for it to be an issue. The cooling air intake is designed to cool the engine when it is producing max power for sustained periods. If you aren't doing that the plate will not block enough air to cause a problem.

Thank you all. There's a few reasons why The Top Flight Reproductions Front License Plate Bracket is so popular here on this forum:
1. No adverse effect on cooling
2. Hands down the best looking solution available for the C6
3. Very easy to install
4. And we have them In Stock

I haven't put a front license plate on any of my cars, I'm in NJ. I have had two tickets in the past 20 years for this. Once in my camaro, once my BMW was ticketed in a train station parking lot. The second one was a pain, mandatory court appearance where I had to dance around and tell the judge I was getting it installed. Of course, I didn't show up in the car missing the plate, and now I don't take the train from that town (because of the ticket, I take it in the next town down the line). I should move to a less authoritarian state than NJ... Even PA.
I'll never put a plate on the front of my Vette.

How do you remove the Top Flight plate?

There is a bracket affixed to the car which the license plate (and backing plate) screws onto via 2 wing nuts.
So to remove the license plate, simply take off the wing nuts and the license & backing plate plate simply come off.
I have been very satisfied with this very well made unit.
Contact Jim @ Top Flight Reproductions if you have any questions. They very good folks to work with.

Here was my solution, no more scraping the plates with curb/speed bump
