I put the bra over my front plate. Haven't been stopped yet.

I thought about that, do you attach your plate permanently to the front or use tye wraps for temporary attachment?

Front plate is permanently attached using the aero plate.

I wouldn't do a temporary attachment to the bra, would certainly lead to disaster. Just mount it to the areo plate and then put the bra on.

You'll have to search for it on this forum, but there is a complete "how-to" by a guy from Iowa using magnets. I did the mod as suggested, works perfectly.

I use the aero plate. Glued N52 magnets behind the aero plate at the 4 corners, and another 4 small ones on the plate corners itself. super easy to pull the plate off, put bra on, and put the plate back up. I was worried perhaps it wouldn't hold, but 2000 miles at up to 100 and no problems.

I use the Sto-n-sho license plate mount. It mounts low enough that you can remove the plate (a simple, 10 second job), install the Novistretch, then reattach the plate (another 10-20 seconds).


(This is a Mustang, but it works the same on a 'vette.)

Forum vendor RPI sells it. Others may also.

That's a GM part. Kind of expensive though for what you're doing. I'd think any cheap-o metal frame would work.

The Aero plate is standard, should have been in the car. The expensive ($160) version is painted with carbon flash. The OEM looks fine without paint.

No, I don't know. If you can post a pic from underneath, showing how the splitter mounts, I could probably make a good guess.

Don't know what a "sto n sho" is but my Novistretch works fine with my poverty splitter. Had to install one more attachment point at the center as the bra has 3 snaps underneath in addition to the 3 on each end.
