i dont get it-if you have to have a visible front plate-then how will making something to hide the plate under the car make sense-why dont you just take it off with your hands permanently instead-so when would you hit the button-if pulled over-

Why dont you just carry the plate in your car and when pulled over say your front bracket broke and your in process of getting one
I'm in the tristate area. That doesnt work man....

well than what does this exactly do-when do you put the plate under? I dont get it So you get pulled over and hit the button and it pops out like the cop wont know or see that if he is getting you for not having a front plate

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.

One of the many thing I love about living in Florida is not front plates! the car does look so much better without it. Nice mod!

the whole point is, let's say you do a photoshoot, you can easily press the button and hide your plate.

Also instead of unscrewing your play / taking it off, you can use this with a flip of a switch. Also this helps you not drill the front part of your bumper.

John, you dremel'd the mesh to get this inside your bumper? What's on the inside to mount to? Doesn't that weaken the mesh grill or ruin the look in daylight?

Your car was slammed so you had less clearance underneath?
