2022 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
2022 C2 of the Year Finalist -- Unmodified
A few of questions please;
- For the low profile mount on a C7 Z06, is the install procedure to remove the two screws
then slide your mount between the body and the stock front splitter and then re-install the same two screws?
- Your paint matched frame appears to be flat and the low profile mount looks to be angled to match the front contour of the C7, does one bend the paint matched frame to match the angle of the mount? and if so, would it not stress crack the paint?
- My 2015 Z06 is Torch Red for the front frame, but the rear where the plate goes, is the correct color match "carbon flash"? You only show this color in the "discontinued colors"?
Thank you much!

Pete, I placed my order for the Z06 grill mount and two Carbon flash frames. I used the paypal option and I got a paid reply from them already, but no confirmation from you guys. Can you confirm that my order is there please? And when would expect it to ship?

Do you make any kind of tinted cover to go over the plate? I notice that both models have a slight "bend" in them, which - of course - follows the lines of the grille.
However, since we have to run a front plate in our lame state, I would like to make it blend in a little more with the black grille, hence, the request for a tinted/smokey colored plate cover.
I have found numerous flat ones, of course, but none that have an angle.

I have a 14 Z51 corvette with an aftermarket front splitter. I like the look of the low profile mount but am worried about how it will look with the spitter with your mount going between the splitter and the car.

I ordered the holder from GM and the seller stated it holds a plate. Well the Aero holder does not hold a plate. The plate holder from GM is a piece of crap. You know, the one that overlaps the nose. Wife and I decided not to put a front plate on until we get our first ticket then revisit.
