Default License Plate Flipper!

So i was messing around youtube and found this cool little gadget.
I might pick one up just because.

Check it Out!


It would be great for people with show cars who dont want to show their license plate i guess.

That's really cool, kind of want one now! I think if I got caught with say a license plate that just said "Lexus" I could get a ticket but then I could troll the officer, lol.

Lol. I've seen the front license plates flipping downwards and hiding it under the front bumber but not the rear until this one.

I had the front retractable one but this is the one that would get you out of trouble. Nice find.

Well, another thing you could do is have you normal plate and when you find a asshat you get in front of him n flip it to a normal plate that has some expletives written lol.

i thought it was pretty interesting untill i found out the price was $445

How has that front retractable one held up?
I've read something bout much n dirt gets stuck in the motors and messes with the plate coming all the way up?

The plate holder holds up well. My shop anchored it well to the bumper support but had to do some cutting inside. It's MUCH better than mounting it underneath the car as I've seen on others. I sprayed some lubricant every once in a while. Here's the teaser video to the long video that was are of my car that shows it at the end.

Nice. Looks good.
Different bottem grill so i see how that works.
I regret getting the AWD. lol. I should've gotten the RWD so i can slam it.

Keep It Up!
