Just saw this for removable front plate!

Stonsho.com has a removable front plate bracket for the GTC! It just saw an add for it on TV. Might be worth a look for those of us in states that require a front plate. I haven’t seen it in person but it’s an option. If anyone gets one let us know if it works well. No affiliation.

I bought the GTR/GTC kit and confirmed it will not fit the GTS. Once I figured out how they mount I bought a C6 Corvette kit because it had the extra length needed for the GTS.

Great quality, simple install, easy to use and works as intended. Tested to 100+

I have this on my GTC. Works great! The best front plate available, IMO.

Any chance you could link to the kit you bought?

Mount uses one body fastener and two screws I fastened to the undertray.

I preferred the off center position to maintain positive airflow

Just mounted the STONSHO...

I’m really impressed... I used the centre mount as the instructions say to remove for track use anyways...

Hello,
You mentioned GTR/GTC klt and site mentions only GTC. Can you or any one else can confirm if this kit will fit 2018 GTR?

It may not work because of the extendable front chin apron. I would ask the manufacturer of the Sto and Go.

It depends how close the retractable thing is to the edge of the bumper. The Sto and Go doesn't go very deep - it just needs about 1/2 an inch for 1 screw to be secured in the underside of the front edge of the bumper.

I'll wait and see, or it will be that silicon holder with zip ties. Pic of that install looked clean but hard to see in that pic on one of the thread.
Tow hook plate seems rather crude ..

Do you have a single screw underneath in the centre?

like the gtc? If so I’ll bet the car side of the mount would work with a different plate side... look underneath your front lip and see if there is a single screw in the centre set in.

Update: It looks like Sto and Sho has developped a front plate holder for GTR and it seems to be sitting fine one center screw.

I have this on my GTC. Works well. You just need to ensure that you clean the area and use the double sided tape provided.
