Front Aero Plate
I saw an option on the Chevy Z06 build site for an Aero Plate. I assume that this is like the Aero Plate option for the Stingray for mounting a front plate in the grille. Anyone have pictures of this piece? The one for the base car is molded for the grille.

That comes with the stingrays. I hope it comes with the Z06 as well. The front license plate bracket is really ugly compared to the aero plate. Anybody who already has their car should be able to tell us.

The "kit" for mounting the front plate on the 15 ZO6 is included with the delivery hardware (nick nacks including a tube for filling gas with something other than a gas station dispenser - I used mine to put Sta-Bil into the tank prior to storing the car for the winter months) . As I understand it, the plate can be easily popped off for a race day and snapped back on after the event. I live in Ohio where we are required to install front plates. I don't intend to mount it unless things here get crazy for front plates (since 2000 I have not put front plates on any sports cars or trucks). The only front plate I have mounted is on my 2012 Volt, my other cars go without.

Several of us Stingray owners trimmed the aero panel down to where it is just the size of the plate so you cannot even see the bracket.
It mounts with just two plastic fasteners in the top holes to the grille, and is easily removed by backing out the screws.

Do you have a part number for the Z06 aero plate mount?

Anyone have a picture of a Z06 grille with an aero plate installed yet?

If you trim the bracket down to just the size of the plate where it allows air to flow above and below the plate, the reductions is minimal. If you add the Z06 spoiler, which splits the air flow, it should also direct more airflow up and into the grille area.

Here's a related question for some observant owner out there: Both the aero plate and license plate occupy a large amount of the grill. That means there's likely less air available for the coolers that are mounted up front. Has anyone noticed if their car's temperatures (with coolers up front) have increased?
Thanks!
