Where did you buy this?

Moss Motors in Goleta Calif offers them (motorized and manual) for Miatas. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt to a 370Z if an application-specific version is not out there.

Moss Motors, there's a name from the past! Great to see they are still in business as I used them for parts on my MG's, Austin-Healey, and a Triumph I owned.

Also check out Stillen's front plate system. It screws into the tow hook. Its PERFECT. Although im gonna save 80 bucks and make one myself.

Summit Racing has both the powered and non-powered. They have the power for like 135 I think, but if you google it or actually search for it, you could find a better deal. It is the Altec Show n Go...

Yep got mine from summit racing for 132 i think. Best deal I could find except bidding on ebay. Most places want 159. It should be here tuesday so I will try to get installed and pics/diy up asap.

Not a bad idea for those states that require the front plate. We await the DIY ENT-Z. Let us know how it goes.

chrisw169 · 06-01-2009, 08:06 PM

Yeah Texas is one of those states, so once I do get my Z this is one mod I do want to get. Definitely let us know how it works out for you.

Glad you fellas like the idea.

I thought it was cool......even though I don't have a front plate.
