Anyone brave enough to post front license plates holders?

I was installed mine using the "flat" bracket, but before I put it on the corvette one, I wanted to see some pictures. Show us those front plates!

I think I figured it out, two different plates. Use curved plate, drill holes to mount plate, bend plate a bit then snap into bracket for the curved plate that has been attached to the grill. The flat bracket sarge for states that have to be a minimum height.

So, does the car come with two different kinds of brackets for the front plate?

Wow...looks like the C7 shares at least three parts with the C6. It looks like the same atrocity that they stuck on the C6.

If you snap off the corvette plate the mount has a picture of a license plate embossed on the surface with a slash thru it. I take that to mean it is not to be used as a license plate mount. What the hell is it for?

I believe GM put that on there because some states have minimum height requirements. I intend to use the curved plate, drill holes and go. No cop would measure the height,. In addition it is the same as the Top Flight I ran for 6 years with no problems
