I had a front plate until I found a GT3 front bumper a few years ago. It didn't have the holes yet, and I just couldn't drill into it. I have been pulled over once and got a warning. I bought the Skene Design bracket (mentioned by Chuck in post 7) and painted it black and it is ready to mount, but that bumper looks so good with no front plate that I will wait until I actually get a ticket before I consider it. It seems 9 out of 10 newer Corvettes do not have a front plate.
