this guy's plate is manually operated, but another guy has a electric motor that does it.


so, anybody gonna try and see if they can make one similar.. :tup:

Can you imagine a cop's face after he pulls you over, for no front plate, and then walks to the front of the car!:bowrofl:

Here's a video of the electric one







it's called "Show N' GO" & Altec is the brand.

apparently it comes in a kit, just install it, but i guess you gotta cut a small hole in the grille....

Can you say Bond, James Bond

no scratches with the electric one?

WOWZERZZZ im def. gonna find sum1 to do install it when i get my 370. lol only if its less than $100 cuz those tickets aren't expensive and its not like ima get a ticket every couple months, maybe once a year?

All jokes aside, can a cop arrest me if I pulled that on him?

Anyways, I wish someone would invent adjustable window tints. Soon as I get pulled over, up goes my license plate along with lowering my tint shade. :D

I love this gadget, I am going to buy it!!

^ i think they have snowboarding googles that can adjust tint with the touch of a button >.>

nah, no scratches from what i heard.


the guy did get pulled over and he flipped the licence plate up...the officer did not give him a ticket...he actually asked where did he get it for his own car...hahahah

Yeah I ordered this guy a few days ago, should be here early next week. I hope to get installed next weekend. I'll keep you all updated!

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.

spm, cpa

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.

Motorized or manual would comply with- Bracket and Securely fastened!
I'll look later if it has to be visible 24/7!
