you can always dremel the back of plate support to give you some clearance to push the slider back under the bumper some more.

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
This EXACT thing happened to me last year. This motorized plate is worth EVERY penny. Even if you don't want to worry about cops and prefer to drive with it up, it's nice to be able to lower it for photos or while it's parked. One of the best mods I've done.

Here's a post I made about being pulled over and the magic trick I did to fool a cop:

Thanks for the compliments man. I'm running H&R sport springs with stock sport suspension. I'll probably snag some coilers eventually cuz I wanna go lower. My wheels are 20's. The fronts are 20x9 and the rears are 20x10. ?I think
