what brand is that ? looks like easy install

I have that same set-up...only negative (depending on cops) is that when its fully exposed the plate sits at a slight angle, not flat on the front. Aside from that i LOVE having this little "James-Bond" apparatus.

On a side note I've been pulled over before by police when i had the plate tucked away...both times i was about to get the no front plate ticket BUT explained to the cop i do have a plate but the "magnets" holding it up must have given way due to the speed, always works lol.

As for install it is pretty straight forward, bent that silver piece of aluminum/metla and actually had to drill into the front crash bar to get some stability.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Anyone recommend any places to mount the stealth plate?(mainly any places that would be easy to install without having a jack and stands or a ramp)

I was thinking about installing it on one of the fins in the mouth(you know those black fins in front of the radiator) but I am afraid it will block airflow and not help with cooling.

Oh would anyone recommend the stillen license plate tow hook mount or should I just go with something like this? Would that fit on a nismo?

Its something I found on YouTube, I ended up googling around and found some on amazon and eBay. It costs $42 and some change with free shipping.

Show n go is one of the brands I saw and hide away license plate from grimspeed( I think it was made by them, I'd have to check eBay again to double check the vendor)
