Default Aero panel

Is anyone familiar with this? I’m assuming its the front grill area, but cant seem to find it. Living in FL. I thought it might be good to remove it during summer months.

If you can't find it, it was likely never installed. It's the ugly chunk of plastic in the center of the grill.

You are correct. If it is attached it will be in the very center of the grill. It will say corvette across the cover plate. It will be very obvious. Probably not installed on your car

If your car is from or in a state not using front tags, no reason for it to ever have been installed. Like mine, it's probably still in the original plastic bag somewhere.

And, "aero panel" is a silly relabeling for the front tag bracket. Being a cover for the ugly bracket is all it's really for.

I use the Aero Panel to attach the front license plate. In Missouri a lot of the PD's are hard asses over the front plate. The Aero Panel is a better alternative to the License Plate Bracket which sits up higher on the nose of the car.
