Ok, although my title says **new**! I'm pretty confident someone has this similar setup. I got it off swift motorsports and the install was a breeze.

I personally love it, its different and unique, while giving your vehicle a clean look whenever desired.

and HELL its priceless to see peoples faces as my plate disappears while driving. and is both sweet and a fun gadget to have on your key chain.

Comments appreciated,:fingersx:

I'm sure some will hate it but hopefully it helps others like me hide the look of the plate in states and provinces affected by this law.

Video is taking Foooorrrreeeevvveeeerrr to load,,,

its honestly only like 24 seconds long haha I added a direct link...Im far from computer savy hopefully that works better? haha

Fooorrrreeeevvvveeeerrr,,, try something other than photobucket,,,

:rofl: Nice way to hide the license plate!

I wanna see,,,

That is badass!

Gotta get one now. Especially with the Nazi police here in California.

holly shit. nice!! how much was that?

Badasss!!!!!!

lol nazi police

haha like 150? not that cheap but they have non electronic ones..., I got it from swift motorsports online, its on my keychain.. only problem ive ran into so far is its soooo close to the ground especially with my lowered ms front you have to be extremely careful, but its pretty durable, ive already crunched it like a dumbie the first day haha.

soooooo sick i want that! i dont think i need to spend 150 quite yet since ive had mine off for a two years and havent gotten a ticket yet but maybe when i move to SD im not sure about the cops there.

also a trick to getting the video to work is press full screen a little box will pop up and it will begin to play.

sweet thhis is the same thing that members on the camaro forums are using!

yea i got it from the vettes. haha shhhh. anyways the product is called the: "show and go licence plate" and its made my altec products. I bought mine off of swift motorsports.

I finally solved my problem with stupid front licence plates and figured I must share.

The price I think was like 150 US. Again they have a non electric one that you can flip with your hand for like 50 if anyone was curious. I still find the value in the electric though.

im gonna get it. thanks for the info spence! im gonna look foward on getting pulled over. then im gonna tell the cop "what do you mean i have no licence plate in the front? check again" lol.

awesome find man!

that's pure awesomeness! I applaud you for such a nice install and a really innovative way to keep a clean look while being able to be smug and legal :)

ha ha ha lol that would be sooo funny

:lol: :yelrotflm

Very James Bond. Did Q hook you up with that?

^hahaha nice!! That's pretty sick tho! I'll look into it now lol

I thought about something like that, but with having the MS bumper and being lowered, I would never make it through my daily drive...so I just attatched brackets to the fog light bracket and have it sitting like that one does, but always out.

wow...i like it

is it me or dose it look like it hits the front bumber pirtty hard?

how hard was the installation?

Im getting this shit today,,, just got a ticket last week from a stereotype pig,,,

Awesome. I've thought of doing something like this for years now yet had no need to really apply. Come in Rx8 with a gay license plate in front of the grill is justification alone to find something around it, kudos to you.

Summitt has them for $130. wooott!!!

is it me or dose it look like it hits the front bumber pirtty hard?

Haha just you, I made it pretty close because I didn't want this rail hanging off my bumper as well as a huge eye sore from the side profile, its still half an inch away from the bumper and is very sturdy so its of no concern.

So did you mount it on the undertray?
this will be tricky for me , I got a couple radiators there,,,

how hard was the installation?

A breeze, trust me on this, it took me 10 minutes and the manual to find the dip stick when I first bought my car. I'm far from mechanically inclinded, I'm in the learning process haha.

Haha I didn't have a jack or anything either, I just took off my bumper drilled 2 holes, used 2 self taping screws that came with it, and put the wiring up through a small hole and connected it too the battery. , and since I have the AEM CAI I just used doublesided tape to tape the receiver to the base of the stock air box right next to the battery, I will take pictures tonight.

HAHA that made me laugh..

I saw this product a few weeks back and i thought about getting it, but i'm afraid it'll get ripped up if i hit a bump or a sharp uphill.

how helpful is the manual?

Lol if you get pulled over, hit the switch while the officer is behind you writing the ticket and let the hilarity ensue! lol

^ nah, make him pull you over and have him start writing the tick it. then say" what do you mean i have no plate in the front. check again"

Thats tight

Yup,, Awesome,,, Cant wait to get pulled over again,,,

thats pretty sick! lol @ the cop.

Absolutely, that's still my biggest fear, I must say though the thing is pretty durable, as long as you mount it properly I can't imagine it coming off from contact with the road..... and scrapes **so far...** have done no damage because the cable system used isn't exposed to the ground.

Also for people that don't like the placement of my setup this kit is universal, I even saw some VW GTI owners cut out a small portion of their centre grill.

Once some people start installing it take some pictures and post them, im curious where else the kit can be used on the 8.

Spence

this is great - would be highly illegal here though .

i think i'll get the manual one. i only got a ticket once because i was parked and didn't have a chance to explain it to the fat pig

lol

fucking halarious! i didnt know what to expect when looking at the vid then it just popped up! thats definatly DIRTYYYY

Damn I need one of those!!! Ive had 3 tickets already for not having a front plate!

That's sweet; i need one!

No idea where I put my front plate though :suspect:

That;s just SICK!! Me wantz

I'm pretty low and with the MS bumper I scrape as it is...so I worry about this.

I think I could mount it upside down on the crash bar, so that way when it's retracted it's out of the way and doesn't block airflow, then if i need to, flick the switch and it opens up. No worry about ripping it off...

To the OP- about roughly how long is the whole piece when it's retracted? I wonder if I have enough room to mount it in my proposed location

that is awesome, i have never seen one of those before. now you just need to put one up on the other side and be like james bond,

When the plate is displayed how does that thing hold up at speed? Does it flap around?

pretty sick

that is freaking awesome!!

old news.....i had this a year before i gave up my 8....non motorized ones....if you search ebay you can get them for <$50 shipped (non motorized)

Florida drivers dont need any of this, thank god
