Don't have one mounted right now, but I did buy the Show-n-Go motorized plate holder. Hopefully the install will go smooth this weekend

You need to post a video when done

Will do for sure.

I'm not mounting my plate as the current DIY shows (they cut the sport package chin spoiler which I don't want to do). I'll be attempting to mount in the grill area and try to get it in the stock location.

I have no plate on the front of my car, and do not plan to put one on it. So far, the law has had better things to do then harass me.

got a speeding ticket and the cop gave me some bs about the plate, but no ticket for it. haven't been pulled over for not having it or anything.

Again it's all up to the individual cop if they want to enforce the front plate law. Some areas are under more pressure to write tickets than others. Any traffic law that you break gives the cop a chance to pull you over. Difference in speeding and no front plate is that I can slow down when I see a cop...I can't just throw a plate on the front of my car when I see him.
