Splurged a little and went with this carbon-flash painted aluminum frame. Quality is great! LINK
For the front I have the Zip removable sitting in the trunk in case I need it. So-far, so-good! MN requires a front plate, but I see a LOT of nice cars foregoing it, and went 1 season without a ticket. Here is a link to the Zip: LINK
I do clean the car every once in awhile - but I'm more of a driver than a waxer, and don't take it to car shows.
Actually I did get a certificate for my ZR1 at the Corvette Corral at the Rolex24 a couple years ago. When checking in at the hospitality tent they gave me a piece of paper to sign up for the "judging" that would be done - but I said "No thanks". The car was still dirty from a recent track event. When they were handing out the certificates for the nicest cars they called up the "owner of the Cyber Gray ZR1 with FL tag CGZR1". I thought they were mistaken, but it turned out the Corvette Racing Team drivers were some of the judges, and they could tell I actually DROVE my car!! The certificate is signed by one of the team drivers.
My C7 Z06 was just back from a track event when I took that picture of the warped frame, and I'll be running Daytona again next weekend!!
Some of us don't mind dirty exhaust tips - including me and the Corvette Racing Team drivers!

Reason: Posted picture
Are you wanting to see front or rear?
In the front, the best frame is no frame, just a rubber border to cover the edge.
In the rear, just a thin frame that the plate fits into and does not cover any of the plate.

I would say that's a good reason for the tips to be dirty!!
I hate to tell you that Corvettes haven't been made with fiberglass for over a decade. Corvette uses some compound called sheet molded compound or composite....but it's the same stuff that that the Saturn body was made of.

Don't have a pic but the description is simple: plain black, says Veteran on the bottom and has the Vietnam campaign ribbon on the top. Not many folks "outside" know what it is, to those of us who do it's a silent "welcome home brother".
Hi- How is that you still have a black Calif license plate...they did away with those a ton of years ago?
The California DMV brought them back this year. They are called Legacy Plates and you can order them on their website, but be prepared to wait a long time for one.
