Any of you guys have experience with motorized front license plate mounting brackets?
Got pulled over for no front plate today for the first time and although I suspect that the cop just wanted to play with the car (he was out of uniform), it has been a source of anxiety so I'd rather just be compliant.
Asked this in the interior/exterior forum as well but would rather hear it from you guys if someone has first-hand knowledge. This thing looks pretty neat but I don't know if it gives me enough clearance with the nismo front lip: Automatic Front License Plate Bracket - Gen Coupe - YouTube

I'd suggest the one that goes into the tow hook if you want a "quick release" option. Those motorized ones, if you bottom out or the motor hits the ground, and it goes out, you're kind of SOL

Yeah did some reading on the motorized ones and there were a lot of "this piece of crap broke within 2 weeks of installation" and seeing as I don't need another thing on the car that could break, I'm going to go with the slide-out, non-motorized flavor.
I can't use the tow-hook flavor because my running lights are in the way.

Yeah the tl;dr of that story was that a guy decided to **** with a cop and the cop decided to **** with him right back. I don't feel bad for that dude at all.
