Not one to argue but you are refering to the C5 corvette. They have a cover in the front the reads "corvette" that when removed allows for a plate. The newer C6 corvette on the other hand does not have this, nor does it have a place for a front plate. The only way to mount a plate is to drill into the bumper. I've only seen a couple C6 vettes with plates and they had a similar front plate mount as on your Z. The Vette isn't the only car like this. So really, CA police are going to make you change the factory bumper to mount a plate?
Just looked up Nevada state law and it's as I mentioned previously. If a car didn't come with mounting from the factory then it is not required. So I was right, just that apparently it's only for Nevada. I'd just like to see what a CA cop would say when you show him there is no mount for it from the factory.
I mean maybe I'm remembering wrong. When I had a C6 vette it didn't have a front plate and I never saw a place to mount it. Just now I pulled up pics of the C6 (don't have mine anymore) and didn't see anywhere a plate could go.
