Default I need a front license plate holder quickly

My town, Glendale, CA has just decided to crack down on no front license plates, big time. I called the local dealer and the snotty **** in the parts department said $100+ and no phone orders. (1) it's a little piece of plastic and (2) two trips to the dealer is one hour total round trip commutes. Advice?

I just threw both versions away this past weekend or I would have given them to you. Try Trunkmonkey or Cultrag (below)...

Were you nearby, I'd be happy to give you mine. But, it wouldn't be quick having to package and ship. Best of luck finding someone nearby.

Make sure you get the aero style braket 22830069. The dealer will order your bracket for pickup next morning if you pay up front.

what is your car? Stingray or GS/Z06... or what grille do you have?

I have a spare in the garage probably but it'll take a while to ship from Texas.

Can you use a couple of black zip ties to get you buy until you get what you want??

This what you are looking for. Weighs slightly over one pound. I need to clean it up as it has been resting in my garage for 5.5 years. Came with my 2015

It’s the demon rats in CA ... guns, fast cars, hot dogs and straws - e.g. ‘Murica’ - are all outlawed.

Zip ties as stated earlier

Looks like Glendale PD is cracking down on a lot of things license plate related. Every time we would be visiting our son and his family in Adams Hill, I noticed this Black, 4 door Maserati had the "Rusnak" dealership plate on the front and back for about 3 years straight!! There were several cars on his street that were doing that. Didn't see any of that on our last visit several months ago!!

I agree - the aero bracket looks so much better than the other one that is available.

Don't panic you can zip tie your plate to the grill till you get squared away.

I also just need parts from my local Chevy dealer and they would not take a phone order, only credit cars in person. They are making it harder and harder to spend locally, I ordered what I needed on line and paid less

There is a vendor here I seen advertise and they have a plate that mount to the bolts under the bumper

The part number you need for the Aero kit if you have a GS or Z06 is 84118310. DO NOT ask for the front plate kit. They will get you the one that goes up over the nose of the car (FUGLY). The aero kit fits in the grille opening. You have to drill pilot holes to mount the plate and you have to curve the license plate slightly to mount it. Good Luck.

I believe I have both brackets that came with my Z06. Not sure what shipping would be.

Zip ties for the moment. Also, Top Flight has an ad for their two different holders posted here recently. Just scroll down the threads.

I have a couple for Z06 new in the wrapper and I might still have a new in wrapper for Stingray. They are the flush mount that fit in the grille..

I would be on the phone to Top Flight Reproductions to get a license plate holder that you can actually live with . They are a forum vendor. I actually like mine.
