I have also thought about doing a flush mount plate, where the license plate would sit behind plexiglass molded to the tailgate and clear coated over so you can't see any seems. It would be similar to how custom motorcycles flush mount LED lights.

This was my thought, recessed plate box, about 1/2", with a lexan window flush with the tailgate surface. Thin strip of LEDs hidden up top for plate lights. All of this centered below the handle in a smooth non lettered tailgate.

Another idea would be to do the same, but offset the plate to the left, then on the right, find a donor tailgate, cut the letters up, and reuse the "C" and "O", along with one of the other letters modified to be the "1", and spell out C10 to the right.

But to be honest, I'd probably just recess a box in the pan in the center, to keep with the Camaro bumper theme. Or even do a retractable plate that tucks behind the bumper when you aren't driving. I know of a few guys that are running motorized versions of those up front in front plate states.
