That looks pretty cool.

Also with my hamann lip, i wonder if it would fit in between my lip.. and would it even look good. Then again the whole point is to hide the front plate.


When would you hide it and when would you show it? would it be recommended on the highway? like hide the plate while parked and maybe at a meet. and while driving turn it back on? damn i wish i wasnt broke.

I have been thinking about this retractable plate for a while. I'm hopefully getting my m-tech bumper soon. With that said, I was just wondering if I should drill the front license plate bracket or not? In Ontario Canada, it is illegal to drive without a front plate. Does anyone out there have this already?

Hrmm... I wonder if a cop would trip out when he's pulling anyone over for no front license plate and with a push of a button the license plate pops out as he's walking to take a look at it.
