front license bracket?
Got a fix-it ticket yesterday, have to put my front license plate on. Any ideas on how to do this without drilling the virgin bumper (no jokes please)? I was thinking of a bracket that would attach to the bottom grille & come out & around the painted part of the bumper...

here in ohio your suppose to have them on the front also. I still have no front and will not put one on the front (maybe a europlate). Both of my older brothers in the past have gotten tickets for them. My arguement is how many corvettes have them? Maybe 20-30% so why should i put one on. Plus no one is drilling in my car, unless im putting on a spoiler that gives me some downforce.

I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't. I do like it however. I just keep my plate in the back and throw it on when I am going to be on the road somewhere I am likely to draw attention.
It's really easy to do. I spent a couple of hours one afternoon putting it together. Just watch out, those niodium magnets are strong. I was holding one in my hand and moved over the top of another and it jumped off the table and snapped onto the one I was holding and gave me a nasty blood blister.

I have one, I think... If I can find it and its in decent shape still, I'll let you know.
You're supposed to have a front plate here in NY too, but I figure all those vette guys can get away with it, so can I. To make it a little less obvious I had shaved, and painted the front bumper at the same time as painting and installing the diffuser I had on the rear.

I am in the final stages of the magnetic plate mount - which I learned about on this forum..not the thread that is linked, but definitely the same idea. I ended up using 75 lb. pull magnets, with just a smaller one behind the bumper insert, (depth considerations - probably could use a steel plate in there as well).
I bought a new bumper insert - $80, and had it painted for about $70. The magnets aren't cheap, and ditto on the safe handling. The ones I have will attract their mates from well over 18" away and when they come together it's not going to be a good thing. I shatterd two of 'em and got a blood blister out of it as well.
