The first generation debuted in 1953 and is also referred to as a classic Corvette. This puts the car in the weird zone of being sought after despite it being fairly common. It walks the line between the more expensive exotic cars and the less expensive sports cars. A custom Corvette for sale is always a popular choice for people that seek a relatively cheap sports car. Chevy has done this at a relatively low price, ensuring it will always be the performance bargain of the supercars. It has recently hit prime performance numbers and is now capable of comparisons with offerings from the exotic manufacturers.
With over 50 year’s experience, Chevy has been making it's top sports car better and better with each generation. The sports car icon is also known for being as American as apple pie.

Otherwise, just pressing the plugs in should lock them into place, and leave barely noticeable 'bumps' on the bumper where the holes used to be. IF YOU WANT, you can put some Liquid Nails on the END of the plug, but I DO NOT recommend it, because it could smear onto the car, and you will never get it off. Take them to the car, and press them into the holes that you drilled into the bumper. If need be, use a pen or screwdriver to push them up from the bottom.

#2008 CORVETTE FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET HOW TO#
In this Instructable I'll show you how to cheaply, easily and tastefully get rid of the front license plate bracket and fill in the holes that our friends at the dealership have made. You could take the car to a body shop and spend $200+ on bodywork to have the holes covered up, or you can spend $20 and do what I did. The problem that many people have to deal with is that is when they go to remove the front bracket they find that the dealer/previous owner drilled two to four holes into the front bumper to get that license plate bracket on. While the need for these is perfectly understood, (state or local laws), they can be annoying if your state doesn't require them, or you don't care to root for a football/baseball team, driving around with the dealers 'complimentary vanity plate' advertising their dealership all over the place, or just have a blank license bracket. If you buy your new car off the lot, or you purchase a used car in a state that requires front license plate tags, and your home state doesn't, you'll often find that the dealer or previous owner required that a front license plate bracket be installed.
