Haven’t had a problem in King county since I bought my 2006 C6 in 2006 and no problem with my 2016 C7 since Oct 2015. Guess I’ll stay away from Your area. Go AF.

If you do run a front plate, get the Aero Plate holder - fits in the grille, does not touch the paint, and conforms to the curvature of the grille. It actually looks pretty good on the car.

^^^This. This is what I run. Its the best option for those of us that do run front plates. I don’t want to give an LEO a reason to pull me over. Its just a license plate.

FWIW, some states treat it as an equipment issue. Show the Court you had it corrected and the citation is dismissed.....

Not that I'm advocating it, but I've run no plates on all of my Vettes (and other cars) since at least 1997 and have never been ticketed. I've even been pulled over on a few other "violations" and never had the front plate issue come up.

Does the Aero plate holder mar or scratch the grille? We currently live in Minnesota where a front plate is required. In less than a year, we are moving to Arizona where no front plate is needed. In other words, will my grille have telltale marks after I remove the Aero plate?

Yes, it will completely destroy your plastic grill............just kidding. Do you actually have the plate? It should come with a new delivery if a front license plate is required by your state.. It just snaps into place and is designed to be remove for the track. I am sure a video is available on YouTube to show how to mount. Had mine on and off several time.
