No plate should ever grace the front of a car

Back, I'd say no to the bracket depending how the plate fits. I dont like the no edge look on bracket less usually. But my c8 did have a bracket

Nope. Also, look up silicone plate frames if you want one. They don't scratch the paint behind them.

he wants the internet to decide so when he complains later he has someone specific to blame.

You only get three questions on this forum….so this is your first.

So yes…. (assuming it’s for the rear plate).

This is opinion. I don't like frames with thick-ish frames. I try to find frames with the thinnest edges. I have used door edge trim, and with that, I can also work the trim around a clear plastic cover. I used that on my C8. I also like the silicone frames because they have pretty thin edges and can also capture a clear plastic cover. If you want an emblem on your frame, then yes, this one looks good to me.

I had a faux carbon fiber frame on our C6. A real carbon fiber laminated on brass for our C7. Movin' up to the East Side eh? But the C8, a simple black silicone frame. Two for $12, I put one on our Mazda CX 5. Both look simple functional timeless.

I've looked at thousands. This is as good as any, but still not to my taste.
Thousands.

Really I've looked at thousands. I finally had one custom made.
Mine is from Aperture Laboratories.

I agree - that is what I have on my C7 - soft and no scratching on the paint.

Did you need to cover your vanity plate too? I think I can figure it out, "CRVTTE"
