Here's something you guys are overlooking: say you're in a parking lot and witness the cold-blooded murder of another person; the perp hops in his Corvette and BACKS rapidly away from the scene of the crime. And when the cops ask you if you got a look at the plates, your only answer is, "No, I don't like front license plates because they really make the front of car look shitty."
Just think about it for a minute .... it could happen.
Not having a front plate could save lives.
Instead of being sucked into the front grill, a road rock might ricochet off the front license plate and be thrown over the car hitting a trailing vehicle's windshield causing the driver to swerve and roll into a ditch killing 4 children and a small dog.
If you use the factory CORVETTE grill mount, drill holes for the plate...then carefully bend the plate to fit it looks nice. I would love to go with no plate but I never do anything to invite getting stopped. Imagine if you go to dinner and have 1 glass of wine...get stopped for no front plate...well...you know the rest! Not worth the aggravation.
I totally agree. I was wondering if anyone has tried to paint the aero front plate bracket carbon flash metallic to match the grill and other CFM components?
Do you need Adhesion promoter, Primer, CFM base coat and then K2 Clear coat? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Yes I did. I did use adhesion promoter, primer, CFM base and then clear coat. I used Automotivetouchup basecoat 501Q. I did front and back. Just scuff up and paint. Looks great. Been three and half year holding great, no chips. I have posted pics.
Also, if you see the holes in the plate, that allows me to unscrew the bracket without disassembling everything. Hope this helps.

You did a really nice job. It looks great! Hope I can get similar results.
I ran without a front plate for 2 years , got pulled over in my small town and was told to install it or get ticketed next time she saw me, so I installed it with the factory plate holder that came with car.
