I had mine custom installed. They had to mess with the hood latch support, but made it work! I love it...it's sick!

I had a hole cut in my lower grill so when it comes out it looks like the original location.

Gosh, I'm trying to justify the $150 bucks, when the manual one is only $60. You guys think its worth it?

That's awesome... I wonder what will the cops think when they try to pull you over. As soon as the cops sound their siren, just flip up the plates. The cops will be scratching their head.

I wish I saw this first before I drilled my front bumper for the plates.

I thought it was more worth it to have the motorized one. If you get pulled over and you have to manually pull it out, then it was never there!

i would get motorized if you can afford it. the wow factor. unless you plan to drive with the front plate on except when parked (e.g. car shows).
