Woohoo! I'm gonna get one for my Rieger kit. I cant stand the front plate but I need it in NYC. So in order to look nice and keep myself within legal limits, I bought the motorized retractable license plate bracket. And after searching for this piece of plastic and motor that costs at most $30 to make, I managed to find one for a decent deal. And guess where I found it??? Summit Racing! LOL
I used source code 2RETYV and gave me 10% off. Total came out to $129.30 shipped. I accidentally used my paypal balance I wanna see if I can rack up to 100,000 points by the end of this year!!! Oh well.
Comes with a key fob to remotely hide or reveal the license plate.

To make one, it will cost about the same as buying one. The brackets have to be custom made and it wouldnt look 100% unless it came out of a mold. Very easy to assemble it together if I have the parts all made. I would just buy it and save urself the hassle. Not worth saving 50 bucks.

John, did you have to cut anything out of your bottom grill to accommodate this?
