Default Front plate cover - different options?

Hi,

​​​​​​Took delivery of my 2022 corvette a week ago. Unfortunately, the front plate cover is missing (previous owner must have ran a plate). I'm looking to get a new front plate cover but it seems there may be two options - shadow black and carbon flash. Is this the case? If so, how do I confirm which I need?

Thanks!

Mike

Well, I'll be dipped. There ARE two of them. .. The second number is more expensive --at least from Tasca Parts, but the first has to be special ordered.. I think stock is the 2nd one. but the pictures look the same. and both fit.

Carbon Flash Metallic is the most likely the one you want. Is the lower front fascia (the area around the plate cover) gloss black with metallic? If so, Carbon Flash Metallic is the match.

It does look pretty similar to the racing stripes, which are carbon metallic. I'll take a closer look in the morning, but it may be the case.

I would have told the dealer that the car was missing a piece of bodywork before I took delivery and nicely asked them if they would order it.

I would go with the Carbon Flash Metallic part. Should match the rest of the area.
