    Anyone familiar with these automatic hidden front license plates...?

    Anyone familiar with these automatic hidden front license plates...?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr1yA5NKYxs

    There was one guy who actually installed it IN part of the front bumper - and it looks really good - not just hanging below like all of the ones I am finding...

    Are any of them "sturdy" enough?

    Never even heard of it and why would it be necessary?

    Some guys use them in shows - so the "look" of the car isn`t disturbed by the license plate bracket/license plate, etc...

    Some guys who live in states that have a mandatory front license plate - don`t like the look of the license plate and think it takes away from the look of their car - and only display the license plate when driving...

    Etc...

    Mine is a little less fancy. It is just drilled in underneath the bumper. Once removed, you cannot see the holes unless you are on the ground and looking for them.

    I have looked at those and at parkway speeds I am afraid vibration against the paint would damage paint. Also if you bottom out going up a steep driveway the system and your plate get scraped.

    Other Han that they are great. I decided to run the plate in a tow bar mounted plate holder.

    Front license plates are ugly and so unnecessary. Probably a revenue stream more than anything else.

    It`s good enough for me, unless removing it is something you do often.

    Reminds me of the sound of a VTEC kicking in :-)

    A friend of mine had one of these. It worked great for awhile, but the weather really didn`t agree with it. I think he had to replace the wiring 3 or 4 times. His car was a daily driver, so maybe it would be ok for a show car.
