This is one is unexpectedly my most viewed video in such a short amount of time, and I am honored and humbled to have so many people out there viewing and interacting with my all of my videos!

NOTE - I got flagged for the original audio in this video that I thought was on NCS, after trying to remove it and change the music, something weird happened and screwed up the audio all over. I am trying to get it reverted to the original, but it keeps processing and I don't know why. Hopefully I can get it fixed soon...

Your required to have it in Wisconsin too

[@valeriepickens2533]

Not putting a legally required plate on the front of your car, is nothing more then looking for an asshole with a badge. Especially around southern Wisconsin right now. Take apart a retractable headlight motor, ( and mounting bracket) and mount it on the inside of your front bumber. Yes, it involves a lot more work, but my husband recently patented the idea, and it should be available by next spring. See you at SEMA!!

[@IncomeWithEnergy]

In Texas if your car is 25+ years old you can register it as an antique and no front plates are required, no window sticker, and $54 inspection/registration every 5 years. Only draw back is they don't want you to daily drive it.

[@georgemerusi299]

[@patmccormick9972]

[@corvettefever360]

In NY, it has to be on the front. While we can sometimes get away with it being in the windshield area, depending upon the cop, but is still illegal. I have never put the plate on the front of my Corvette, and luckily have never had a problem myself. But I think this is only because it is a Corvette, because I have had issues, tickets, etc on other cars, but not the Corvette. Not to mention, we have these huge registration & inspection stickers on the left corner of the windshield. Why couldn't those be on the plate like so many other places? Notice what he said about the salters ? That Corvette season is over as soon as salt is dropped! This is so true & should be followed, & for any car possible. Those cars that need to be driven, should thoroughly be washed underneath by spring time!

[@YellowVette04]

I used velcro instead of screws and kept the plate behind it. So far so good after almost 3 years. Not a fan of the front plate in the window but I get it. Haven't been bothered yet, but my excuse is I put the cover on at a car show and forgot to take it off. Last night I was thinking of wrapping my console on the C5, so it's funny to see your idea too lol.

[@13Scorpio]

Yea, I forgot to make it clear I would only put the plate up there when driving, that way I can stow it away the rest of the time. But, the car show excuse is a good back up option as well! ;)

Your lucky you found one in descent condition. Plus many owners either kept them or lost them and so didn't pass them along when they sold the car.

[@13Scorpio]

Most likely came off a car that got parted out. Given it was not very cheap, probably alot of C4s end up going as parts because they will probably get more money than as a whole due to people like me! ;)

[@OcelotTheFurious]

Scorpio, I'm local to the Milwaukee area - stay in touch if you want network on C4 stuff like the Carbon fiber wrap. I did my C4 and it turned out pretty good. Even did it for the same reasons you did. Mine came with that faux stick CF dash kit. Your dash actually looks pretty good without and I can share some of the things I did with mine.

[@13Scorpio]

Goo Gone did wonders to clean it up, and overall I am happy with the result. Wish that nice soft texture didn't get ruined, but, much better than with that old stuff on there. Definitely when spring rolls in, I would like to meet up with some locals with C4s, and compare and contrast. I recently was in contact with a guy in Kenosha as well, could be fun to do!

[@rickpom1]

@@13Scorpio Cool. Keep me in the loop. I've got a bunch of CF left over too, so if you want to experiment with it, let me know and I'll cut you off a piece to do a few parts. It's easy enough to use, just putzy . I did the interior pieces of my C4 and I'm happy with the results, it just looks out of place because it looks more current then the retro feel of the C4 - Peace.

[@robfowler908]

I like the plate filler, but putting your plate on your front windshield in my opinion subtracts from the car's looks as much as the plate remaining where it was.

[@13Scorpio]

It will only be there when I am driving on the road, that way when I park or go to shows or the like, I can just stow it until I get back on the road.

I’m supposed to run a front plate but I feel it destroys the look of the front of the vehicle so I don’t use them on my trucks and Jeeps and especially not my vette, I’ve never been pulled over or even warned about it!

[@13Scorpio]

I think more than anything if you have the plate holder but no plate, that will get their attention. I almost never notice a car without a front plate unless it has an empty plate holder, so, I am keeping my fingers crossed that logic is sound! ;)

[@petercarey6883]

Absolutely enjoyed this video. As to installing the front fascia plate where the license plate is supposed to go, I didn't realize the retainer screws were attached from the front as opposed to the back. I'm sure it's a lot easier, but I guess you better make sure you have a skinny screw driver. As to those of us that are required to have a front plate, I think it's absurd. So many states never required a front plate, while others just eliminated the requirement. By not requiring a front plate, it would be just another area for the states to save money, which is ultimately our money. I did discuss this subject once with a cop who said they need the front plate for identity purposes. Really? If that's the case, why are the front plates not required to be lit so they can be seen at night like the rear plate? Then again, the after-market vendors are not complaining in that they offer a host of mounting options to install a front plate which can easily be removed and/or electrically fold up out of sight. I have such manual install/remove mount for my C6 and thereby eliminates screwing or double-sided taping the factory mount to the front bumper. It's a very clean install and removes in 15 seconds. I live in NJ and pretty much always have the front plate on except when I'm showing the Vette due to the fact that the minute I go illegal a cop seems to pop up out of my gas tank. lol We too have had snow here in Northern NJ and like you, until the roads get salted and/or they spray the brine mix down, I take the Vette out. Which reminds me, gotta go and take the Vette out. It LOVES the cooler weather. lol Save the Wave.

[@13Scorpio]

Totally agree! One of those electric plate hider would be a good solution, might look into that at some point!

[@alexanderkuhn5369]

You dont see the front of the car while driving, but you see allways the plate at the window...makes no sense to me, in fact it would disturb me a lot ! But your choice ! :-) If the plate is steel i would try magnets on the cover.

[@MrArcher01]

Thank you for your videos. I am entertaining the idea of building a project Corvette and your information is most valuable. I appreciate you taking your time and sharing your journey with your C4. I really like the color, as there don't seem to be many Corvettes in the C4 generation, or any generation, in this color.

[@13Scorpio]

Yea, I was a little skeptical of yellow when I first had the opportunity to get it, but, soon after I really fell in love with the color. Not many vehicles can pull off yellow, but definitely not a problem for Corvettes

[@xMichael651]

My C4 has the OEM filler but in California you get stopped all the time if you don’t have a front license, so over the years I got like 8 or 9 tickets for not having a front license until when I got pulled over and the cop said you got the same ticket quite a few times before why you just don’t put the front license? And I was like because I don’t like how it looks like and he started laughing and said oh really? Like that? Well I’m going to give you a fix ticket so you gonna have to put the front license on even if you don’t like it. Then i did it, I went to the inspection, paid the ticket and left, removed the license again and I got eventually stopped and I got a $1200 ticket for removing the license after having a fix ticket plus I got another fix ticket, so at the end I just resigned myself and left the license in place.

[@anthonyyarnell2785]

Hi, just a hint about the front plate. For states that require a front plate, any street rod accessory dealer has an electrical plate holder that when under power moves the plate from under the front bumper to infront of the bumper. When the car is shut off the plate retracts back under the front bumper. I believe Kerbeck's Corvette in NJ was selling this as an option to new corvette owners when they purchased a new Vette.

[@vettepurist304]

Haha yea same problem here in NY state we have to have a front plate as well! I’m a big c4 guy and have owned a couple now and have always kept my filler in. Fuck em!

Whyd u pull me over......of course i have a front plate ....go look again officer. Itd be hilarious. Rich/san jose

[@williamhelus3522]

That wouldn't work in this state. Colorado law says you must have a front plate. They did not say where in the front. I would do the same and put the front plate inside the car where it can be clearly seen. One way to comply, and have your way also. BullyBilly

[@bendeco9115]

You could color match the outside yellow on your console. The old cool cars fron the 40’s and 50’s collr matched inside panels.

[@13Scorpio]

Thought about that, but, I think it might be a bit much. Yellow is such a strong color, and I think it would actually distract more than a subtle carbon fiber look, but, it could be an option. I appreciate the advice!

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

Having owned two C4 Corvettes i can honestly say who gives a toss about the front plate... you are not compliant putting it on the dash, and likely to get seriously injured in a crash. Put it where it belongs and stop trying to reinvent the wheel. There is no top screws for the cover. The coating on the dash is called Dulso, it is a GM product and easy enough to get.

Have you had any issues with the Optispark ignition with that style of engine?

[@13Scorpio]

Not yet, but I am sure it will at some point. When I had it inspected, the tech said it looked like it had already been replaced at some point, so, hopefully it won't be any issue anytime soon.

[@RARenfield]

I have. You don't want one. I've done three replacements in 4 years. It's not just that they're a PITA to replace. The "good" ones are no longer made. Every replacement is a crapshoot. So, best case scenario is 4 hours labor (by the book) for what may last an hour. Lather, rinse, repeat. Or you can spend thousands installing a Torqhead optispark eliminator. That's how bad they are. Someone engineered a (very expensive) way to get rid of the damn thing altogether. Chevy tried to fix it (with ventilation in '95-'96) then gave up and went LS. I just don't drive farther than AAA will tow.

[@drjohnsonhungwell5115]

RARenfield What brands have you used ?

[@RARenfield]

@@drjohnsonhungwell5115 The first one I bought was the highly recommended (and expensive) Petris. Chris Petris has enjoyed a good reputation among C4 owners for several years. The bearing failed after 18 months. Six months out of warranty. I put an AIP unit in my wife's '95. It was still working a year later when I sold it. So when the $400 Petris failed, I put an AIP in my '96. Knock wood, that one is still working after a year. After I installed the last AIP, I read of others who had theirs fail anywhere from a day to a week out. I bought mine off Amazon for $99. The ones that failed came from Sac City for $160. Sac City offers a 2 year warranty instead of 6 months.

[@drjohnsonhungwell5115]

RARenfield I just bought a Petris they offer a 5 year warranty now for a little extra so I got it haven't installed it yet . I may not need it just yet though I have a 94 Corvette had 67,400 miles on it 70 and some change now had original plugs wires and Opti . It ran good when I bought it then it developed an intermittent misfire which progressively got worse and fouled plugs . I changed them ICM and coil plus new coil wire still ran bad then changed wires after I bought Opti now it's running good for now , so I guess I have an Opti sitting around until the Opti goes may run good for a while maybe not it had all of the symptoms of an impending Opti failure .

goood stuff here in quebec i don't need to have a front license plate which is awesome still got the original one

[@13Scorpio]

Lucky! ;)

[@gnuemacs1166]

Could u put the plate under the car ? Front ?

[@eat_a_dick_trudeau]

Clickbaited into a 15 minute video for a license plate delete.

[@jasonudovich8880]

Where in Wisconsin are you from?

[@justinfendelet8675]

Need one 85 Goldie owner

[@jamesprice6381]

ida tried velcro

[@goldenknight007]

Word of caution. As a corvette fanatic I love the plate delete look up front. That "corvette" indent just screams class. With that said, I think it raises the question of necessity for the while front plate thing legally. As a police officer, when someone knowingly does this for aesthetics and violates the law...dont be surprised if you get stopped or cited. You made that choice. With that said, why not push your elected officials to ditch the front plate entirely? You cant tell me it wont save money in the long run. Exercise your rights and make it happen...or just break the law and pitch a fit when you get caught. Finally, make sure you look up the exact verbiage on putting the plate in the window as some states demand 'affixed to front/rear of vehicle' which means you can still be stopped and still be cited. Dont argue it's a crappy cop either when you knowingly violate. Pay a $100 citation to have it your way. Or vote someone in that changes it. Be safe and love the car! Wear your belt!

[@nowotarzan]

Hey, in one of your videos you commented to someone with a link for muffler delete for c5, cant seem to find it, can you please share it one more time?

[@scottraymondsr3241]

I live in New York State and a front licence plate is required, but I never put it on, owned since 93' .Like you said the licence plate looks awful on the front of a vette! The plate in the windshield doesn't look Good either, the licence plate looks alot better hanging on the garage wall. 👍

[@speedfiend925]

I have had multiple C5 Corvettes and could care less about laws telling me I need a front plate. They are an eyesore and have no business being on the front of any car let alone a sports car. Unfortunately the C6 and later gens did not have as clean of a solution of where to put or not put the front plate. A real shame too because people end up with cars with ugly holes drilled into the front bumper which looks as bad as having a front plate IMO.

[@ravioli2389]

You know you look like Kevin James......right !

[@13Scorpio]

I will take that as a compliment! ;)

[@rhythmrain5232]

Where did you get those clean running lights

[@13Scorpio]

As far as I am aware they are just the factory "fog" lights. Looks cool just having them on and not the headlights though.

[@keithlane4343]

Not sure how I missed this video. I'm subscribed, but don't seem to get all the notifications of your new videos. You get lots of views because you feature C4 content. Not enough C4 stuff on the Web. Also your methodical approach to projects is good. I've learned a few things about my '96 C4 watching your videos. Keep up the good content. Summer is coming.

[@chazlacoste7572]

Bout time! LOL

[@pwp5741]

What were the screw sizes? I haven’t found the size anywhere online.

[@13Scorpio]

I used a small profile stainless steel license plate screw. I was about 75% the thickness and thread size of a typical one. Worked perfectly.

[@pwp5741]

I found it finally, #8x3/4". Thanks!!

[@wayne3302264]

You just moved the eye sore from one spot to another as I see it and also blocked part of the drivers view in the process.

[@sheldoncanopy1906]

If that is truly a C4 you changed the rear clip.C4s did not have a third brake light, also had round tail lights not square. to do away with the front license plate here in Washington i simply registerd my C4 as a collector vehicle. no yearly tab fees!

[@13Scorpio]

The C4 was refreshed in 90 or 91, the bumpers were rounded and the black trim that went around the car was painted body color. The 3rd brake light was added to the rear clip (except on the ZR1) due to regulations and the taillights were squared off a bit and no longer circular like earlier in the generation.

[@sheldoncanopy1906]

Thank you for correcting me.

[@drjohnsonhungwell5115]

Have you had any optispark trouble since you've owned it ?

[@cengawer]

The music is awesome beside your yellow c4
