Front Licence Plate Idea For Mounting It

nogoodname

I saw this on another forum.....it's just too good of an idea...so i thought i'd share it.

It's a retractable plate frame.....very neat idea.

pics:








and an animation of it:








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..

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!

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....

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.

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

nogoodname

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

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

SoCal 370Z

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!
