Aero front plate bracket
Good evening. After running for years without a front plate, my wife got pulled over today for running without the plate. And he bypassed the warning and went straight to a ticket! I dug out the stock bracket that we got with the car, and really don't care for it.....I am wondering if anyone can recommend a place to get the aero plate bracket for our 2015 Z51.
Thank you!
Mike

I think this is what you are looking for. I ran an aero plate on my 2014 and I think it is the best looking option if you have to run a front plate. You will need to order 2 of the retainers for the plate also. Here is the link. You will need to bend the license plate slightly. It is quick to remove if you need to take it off. Some states (I don't know about Ontario) have a minimum license plate height which this method doesn't meet but I can't see getting a ticket for that unless you are doing something stupid. I hope this helps.

Mike,
Stingrays take different aeroplates than Grand Sports or Z06s. George's link in post #4 directs you to the GS/Z version.
This thread has the best info I've seen on aeroplate selection - https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rt-number.html
Some of the part numbers shown may have been superceded. I'd suggest that failing to find one for sale in the Forum classifieds, a Chevy (or GM) dealer is your best bet to purchase one, and they can confirm any part number updates.
(As a side note, I did find my aeroplate through the classifieds. If you don't see one for sale, place a 'Wanted to buy' ad (WTB). I've found needed parts that way)
Best of luck in your search.

With a 16 Z06 in the DFW area, I do what I can to promote airflow. I purchased one of the holders that clips into the grill with spring tension. Works well. I put it under the hatch and plan to plead forgetfulness if I get stopped. So far it hasn't been necessary. Not sure if that would work in your jurisdiction. I assume that's a fix-it ticket. In this part of the woods, you shoot a dated picture with the plate in place, go see the court clerk, pay your court costs and it gets dismissed.
