Default License plate frames?
The big flat area for oversees plates sure looks bad with US plates. Thinking about a plate frame on E-Bay in black on an accelerate yellow. It's CNC cut and powder coated. Looks well made. They have in chrome also. Anybody have it? Opinions on it or any other frames out there C8 owners are using? Thanks

The rear of the car is so busy anyway... what's a little more "stuck on?"

I had a plate very similar to the OP’s picture and it was one continuous nightmare to clean among the horizontal “lines,” especially as we know the back of Corvettes are dirt magnets.

Gave it away to a friend who wanted it in spite of cleaning issues. I like something similar (and easy to clean) like Jeremy’s.

Not a frame I would buy. I prefer a regular rectangular one that matches the body paint.
