Default New license plate frame!

Hello,

I just want to share my new license plate holder. It took some research to find the "ONE". I believe that is perfect for my C7, didn't want to have the overkill of "Corvette" all over the car. Obviously this is just my personal opinion. If anyone is interested send me a PM and Ill send you the link.

Best regards,

Roger

I have not found anything that I like on the C7, so I'm frameless.

I got GM's carbon flash frame. Expensive but quality produce. Put black screw caps on. Looks great. Will try and post pic.

If you want to avoid the "overkill' look, get the frame that is not a frame like I have in the rear...
plus in Texas, the whole plate must be visible, and I like not having the screw tabs sticking down.

I found a company that makes plate frames from billet aluminum in many styles with anything you want on it, about $33.00. Not a forum dealer, but you can search for billet frames. Here is the one I had made:

Looks like it.

I've got a similar plate frame...it's a simple plastic 'carbon-fiber' look frame...looks pretty decent. I didn't want one that said Corvette all over it...already have the letters on the body just above the frame which say Corvette. Neither did I want any flags on the frame since there's already one just above the Corvette lettering.

Frame the plate? With ugly unpainted screws. There is nothing unique about this, unless I'm missing something
