From what I've seen, there really is no solution to the front license plate dilemma. I say put something on to get the ticket signed off and then remove it until you get caught again in another 3 years.

Honestly, I've known only one other Corvette C5 owner who has used one of those bubble plate covers. Is it possible for you to park in such a way that your front bumber is not easily seen? Can you park a distance away and walk to the Post Office? I'm just trying to throw out some alternatives, since I dislike the front plate look so much!

Here's one possible solution. The clear cover painted on the inside.

Here's the stock surround painted to match your Vette.

Or, maybe one of these, only powered from the driver's area. :
