SC Custom Plate is Recessed in Black Perimeter Metal Frame. Meets State Law.
I'm actually leaning more toward your plate now.

Car looks great and sounds like an awesome time.

I sold my ST a while back, really miss her, that was a fun car in a totally different way. My wife is like "oh no" when I talk about the RS.

Enjoy the new ride.

What a absolutely gorgeous car you have there Bro. Classic, w/ the white exterior and red interior. Wheels really pop on the car as does the stripe. Hope you have many years of enjoyment. Great to have the excellent memories to go along with that car.

SC Custom Plate is Recessed in Black Perimeter Metal Frame. Meets State Law. Can't Have Any Letter or Number Even Partially Covered, Not Even Clear Plastic Covers! They Give Out of State Cars the Same $125 Fine!


That Was My C6 Plate

Congratulations and enjoy it. Be sure to drive it and not let it become a garage queen.

It's got 6800 miles on it already! I'm hoping to hit 7500 before I garage it in October.

First year in the books. I drove 7800 miles. Not bad for April 11th thru October 8th, or about 6 months!

Updated the mods list to reflect the cars current state, which is to say I've decided NOT to get an MGW but possibly get the Z06 stage 2 splitter and side skirts from GM.

Ordered the Stage 2 front splitter and side skirts in Carbon Flash. I'll post some pictures once I get them installed.

I also continued to drive it this past summer, it has 13,000 miles on it now!

I'm hoping to hit 20,000 by the end of 2018.

Well the Stage 2 Splitter and Side Skirts are on indefinite back order. I never understand why they advertise things and not have them for sale.

Get notified of new replies

I might have found some from another vendor who has them in stock.

More money than I would have paid from my original source but at least I'll have a set.

I think the car will look so much better with them.
