Billet front grill + licence plate ? Ok I really like the look of the billet front grill since I had a look at it in Las Vegas 
Thing is I don't know how to mount a licence plate on it since I got to run one around here. I just got chrome rims and I really think this would compliment them the most. I looked at the bracket from slp http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...&SHOWEMAIL=Off
I never saw a picture of a billet grill with this thing on or a licence plate hanging in front of it. So please post one if you got one !!!

So this pic is with the SLP bracket on ? If I wasn't going to trim it would the plate be sitting around the same area with the bracket ?
What options for grill manufacturers do I have ? I would like something chrome or highly polished to go with my Z06 chromies

i too, have/had this problem. i have the SSRA so i could not get the slp bracket that goes underneat. i bit the bullet and put the front plate on. then i got the billet grill and was like there is no way i am putting a front plate over it, so i went "under it"

Also very nice chrome decals over the z28 part I like them. Chrome tips are also on my list. Where did you get those decals and tips lol?
I don't know what cops would say if they couldn't see my plate from the side. I really like the look especially on your purple car but we have **** cops.

Front license plates are for old ladies. Most cops could care less, but of course you have those large ego give out tickets every second pigs that look for that ****... Out in california ive never had one mention it on any of my cars.

gavspurplez where did you get your grill and is this the polished version. I want the exact same thing since I might just as well try my luck up here with the licence plate. I notice on different manufacturers altough that they don't have the same design and might not let the plate appear clearly as yours.
The Stull option is really nice but the price is something different. Ebay as really nice ones for 69$ is their anything wrong with those?
