That is the old school "Green Hornet" w/ Bruce Lee.

Nice thanks for posting this ENT-Z! I just got mine in the mail.... I was surfing around and also found this.... one for the rear! I guess this would benefit you guys and gals down south with toll roads!

Through a convincing demonstration from z370z, I've ordered the front retractable plate from Summit and it should be arriving soon. I'll try and take some pictures along the way -- is there anything you guys want to know/see so I can be sure to look into it when I'm doing my install?

I am hoping to have mine recessed in the bumper. Kind of where the stock plate would go but inside the bumper. Then have it go up and down like a electric window would. This probably sounds crazy but I think it can be done........maybe?

Does anybody see what I am trying to say?

I'm surprise that you haven't scrapped the plate or broken anything considering that it's mounted so low. But I totally think it's creative and props for doing it! I'm always a big fond of people engineering creative things like that.

you should get your precinct to pay for a Z to be done up in highway patrol paint and lights. That would look sick. if i got pulled over by a Police 370z, i'd probably at least be a little happy.

It sits just a tad higher than the front chin spoiler. I scrape the front chin spoiler frequently but have never hit the plate..
