Awesome mod to an already awesome car!
I want one now, think I'll have to give John a shout n see I he can ship one to the uk.
One question, where is the switch for it? I mean is it inside the car, a remote fob, or automatic when switch ignition on?
Thanks in advance.

thanks bro. I'm sure John has shipped items to the UK no problem. The device comes with 2 remotes. One of them I put on my key chain and the other I left inside the car. I used some double sided tape and just stuck in on the dash.

Nice! I never get hassled by the cops but this is so descrete I'm thinking I need one now.

I could just see this conversation starting:

Cop: Know why I pulled you over?
Me: No I'm afraid not
Cop: You don't have a front plate
Me: Yes I do
Cop: (Goes to look, scratches head, approaches window) Have a good day!

LOL

Exactly!

I just need to figure out how to retrofit something that lets me know that it's up all the way when I make it come out. Last thing you want is to have it sticking half way out when the cop takes a look at it and figure out what you've done. LOL

I was going to have it installed underneath my camera so that when it came up it would black out my camera view, but I didn't like that placement.

Hey JR, put the foam pieces BEHIND those two knobs in the back of the plate to give it cushion and not scratch the bumper.
