I like it a lot! That one was a contender as well. I've been a Corvette lover since I was old enough to know about them. 1970-72 some where around there.

We sell a lot of these with STINGRAY lettering:

C7 Corvette Stingray Rear License Plate Frame w/STINGRAY Lettering in Carbon Fib

How about black with polished STINGRAY?

Does anyone have a picture of the White with the White rear license plate frame?

 

[VetteGirl]

Here is my new frame, got it at corvettemods.com.

I'm with you! I have the black version of this and it looks awesome.

Can you update the picture to also show the black version of this?

I would like to see the difference in case I want to order in the future.

Thanks

What are you guys using? Just got my tag today and want something nice to frame the plate. Lots of options for C6 and earlier, perfer something black to match the black wheels/Laguna blue.

Just a thought. Before buying a $90 Carbon Fiber frame, bought a inexpensive plastic simulated CF one that had the same two part construction. With the location of the backup camera the fit was very tight! Decided it was hard to see it was carbon fiber and then saw the police were giving tickets if any part of any letter or number is even partially cover! That is the law in SC and it will cost $125 even if you come from out of state! Some other states have the same law. Below is what I finally bought, it's just an outside metal frame. Was going to spray it carbon flash but the original black powder coat is a good match. You can see the very small clearance with the camera even with this thin frame.

Jerry - great frame; I want one. Where can I find it?

Hi, Got mine from Advanced Auto. It was only about $8 as I recall.
The Vette only has two mounting holes so to be able to use 4 caps (painted mine as you saw) I put some small bolts on from behind to hold the plastic retainer that come with the caps. You can buy black or chrome, they are a few dollars.

That frame looks fine. However the metal one I purchased from Advanced Auto actually has a full back, that is why you don't see any mounting tabs. The retaining screws go first through the plate, then the plate holder that just has a full perimeter raised ridge edge. The bottom two holes in the frame and plate are were I put the small screws through the back to retain the plastic cap retainers. The colors of the SC custom plate did not look good with the black or chrome caps available so painted them! Just didn't like seeing the black frame through the SC plate holes! Both would look fine.

I've heard rumors that certain states will ticket drivers if the plate bracket covers up information on the plate. Is there any truth to this?

That is a pretty broad question. No doubt some DMV have laws on the books to allow ticketing if certain informational areas (eg, inspection or renewal sticker) is covered and some police may enforce under certain circumstances (similarly to front license plate requirements).

Maryland has been known to ticket drivers with dealer tag frames

 

[Davez51]

This one looks great!!

 

[mjw930]

Actually I think those extra wide frames with all the extra chrome look seriously out of place on the C7 and would never put one on mine. Sorry, I suppose it's a generational thing, I just don't understand adding chrome trim to a sports car.

Texas has done this. They also will ticket for no front plate. Usually local PD's don't care, but the State Troopers do. I went with a simple black frame that does not cover any plate info.

 

[Zymurgy]

Where did you get it? I like simple for plate frames.

Cruiser Accessories black perimeter frame. SKU 30650. Available at AutoZone, Amazon, and many other places. Screw caps are also from Cruiser Accessories.

It's used as an excuse to stop cars and look for alcohol and dope
