Not an ideal solution at all! The C7 improved the front license plate situation with a removable frame that snapped into the center grill, and now the C8 offers the most integrated plate holder solution since 2004. Previous generations like the C4 and C5 Corvettes provided an integrated license plate holder on the front nose of the car, but that went away on the C6 Corvettes which required the owner to actually drill and mount the license plate frame on the front fascia. ![]() ![]() So if you’re in one of those states that require a front license plate, here’s the process! ![]() Plus, many Corvette owners will opt for a custom vanity license plate which they want to show off. A total of 30 states require a front license plate and driving without one may improve your Corvette’s curb appeal, but you could also end up with a hefty fine if caught driving without it. “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” isn’t just an old Clint Eastwood movie, it’s also an apt description of how Corvette designers have dealt with integrating the front license plate on America’s Sports Car over the years.
