Default Front license plate fix

The law started pulling me over for no plate. So far so good.

AVS makes one as well, but it's for the rear for Custom trucks, but I'm sure it can be attached to the front some how

ive seen that before on a vette but on the vette when is was "hidden" you could still see the mounting stuff and was just as un-attractive... can you see it when it is retracted, it was hard to tell from the video cause the sun facing the camera?

Since the car in now lowered, it is not easy to see the mounting hardware. I tucked it in pretty good as well. I can post pics later today when I get home. I went to a Cars and Coffee meet and nobody knew it was there until I used it.

Though one thing to remember, it is way better than a static plate mounted on the grille.

You San Antonio guys look out for the Red Light Cameras @ Crossroads & IH10W. The whole thing is a scam...

That license plate is awesome -gonna get one. Is it electric or cable release?

Re-watched video -sounds electric.
