Default Hide away front tags

Anyone have these on their SC yet? Another alternative for those that like to run NFP all the time. There's also a motorized version of it. Here's the non-motorized one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYWmw...eature=related

Pretty tight. And you don't have to have visible holes.

...or you just have the plate mounted on the driver side of the car with a clean bracket that costs 10 bucks and save yourself at least 140 bucks compared to a motorized one and at least the cost of half the tank of gas if its the manual one

nothing wrong with front plates.

There's one for that too, but I'm not big on the 007 style. All over youtube. My main concern is with very low clearances on dropped rides if you have that $150 motorized one on the front and you hit something that thing just gets ripped off. Not only you're out $150, you're over the side of the road looking for your tags.

Yea i was thinking the samething. I drag my front end a lot that wouldnt be good on it. I probably could be mounted on the middle section of out bumpers just got to do some trimming but im sure it could be possible.

I wonder how law enforcement would react to this.

It's a no-no in JPN

That'll be intresting, you get pulled over for not having a front liscenes plate. Then you press that button and it pops up, cant imagine the cop's reaction pricless.

Boom.
