Default Top Flighte Install help?

When installing the removable license plate frame the instructions state:
Step 8: Install the license plate and GM colored
frame using 1/4-20 x 3/8 stainless steel phillips
pan head screws (4 places) and split lock
washers (2 places) on the top two mounting
holes only (supplied with bracket kit)

I take that as use the lock washers only on the top 2 holes- top of plate and plate frame and use just 2 screws with no washers on the bottom 2 holes. Sound correct??
They supply 4 washers and 4 screws though.
Their install pics were taken 11 years ago and the resolution is terrible so when you zoom in to see the screws in the plate, it's too blurry to tell.

You are correct, do not use the lock washers on the two lower mounting holes g

Your website says the permanent mount version is for the C6.
But if I have a C6Z, and want a permanent mount, will this version work?
I don't want a removable one for my C6Z.

You would need to purchase the removable bracket, we do not sell a permanent bracket for the Z06

TopFlight,
thanks for the response.

Now please educate me... why can't the Z06 use the permanent bracket?
Don't they both just mount up with the 3M tape to the underside of the
bumper opening ?

because the permanent bracket has a larger flange on top and the Z does not have enough depth, the bracket would stick out approx 1/2 inch

Hi Folks, Ray and I have decided that it was time for Top Flight Reproductions www.topflightrepro.com to become a Forum Vendor. For those of you who live in states that require two plates and are interested in a front mount, Top Flight Reproductions has a permanent and removable mount for the C6 and a C6 Z06 removable mount as well . We also sell the GM colored license plate frames which really dress up the front mount. The Installation is very easy, requires no lifting of the car. We have had this product out for over 2 1/2 years now and the customer satisfaction has been fantastic. We appreciate all the nice comments from you forum members who have purchased these products along with inputs for making our product better, we thank you. For those of you who haven't heard of us, check out our website at www.topflightrepro.com or give us a call at 781-279-1279 and ask for Ray. We look forward to hearing from you.

In Stock!

The Top Flight Reproductions C6 front license plate bracket is the best looking mount available. It follows the contour of the front bumper, easy to install, and is priced considerably lower than other after market solutions.

All three Top Flight Reproductions front license plate brackets are in stock and ready to ship. Visit our website at www.topflightrepro.com or call 781-279-1279 and ask for Ray.

I have a top flight plate mounting bracket that is separating from the tape. It is secure on the vehicle side, but the bottom is loosing grip...sigh. I guess I could just permanently bolt it to the vehicle so it wont fly off.

Thanks, but at this point I don't think that would help with the other bracket attached to the vehicle. Just don't want to have to scrape the one off for fear it wont be a clean removal causing the next one not to adhere as well.

All you need is fishing line using a sawing motion to cut thru the adhesive, then use some "goo be gone" or some other adhesive remover available at all the local hardware stores, then use some mineral spirits to clean the area well and then wipe down the area with some alcohol
