Excellent C7. Did you order or got real lucky at a dealership. Here is a picture of my 2015 C7 with the new front tag holder.

I ordered it from a moderate size dealer who gave me a great deal not only on the price of the C7 but also what they gave me on my 2009 C6. They only had one allocation for a Z51 at the start of the 2015 model year and I was first in line.

That's not the "new tag holder". It's the aero panel (same as it was in 2014)

Mr. Buckeye,
My last hurrah will be arriving soon and I share with you the extra glee and accomplishment in owning a C7. One less item on my bucket list.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the aero panel came as standard equipment with every 2014 or 2015 Corvette so if your state/province requires a front plate you could mount it that way instead of having it higher up on the nose.

Your car should have come with the Aero Plate. It's a very easy install!

Runutzzzzz - As far as I know the plate shown in my pictures is the only plate that came with the car. Do you need to specify the Aero Plate when you order the car from factory? I plan to change what is presently on the car which IMO is to high and covers to much of the front end. I understand that some states actually specify the height that the plates should be placed on the car and wonder if that is why this license plate bracket came with the car.
