My only concern is that this would **** off any LEO that pulls you over for a missing front plate. I would think it's fairly obvious that the plate is attached to some sort of Gizmo.
I still want one, though!

i installed one on a customers Audi a while back. pretty straightforward install. It was pretty cool. nothing too fancy, bordering on cheesy. IIRC it had a little remote, not a dash switch. No legality issues. NYS says you need a visible front plate. nothing about how its attached to the vehicle. i can only think that when the pd bangs a u turn to pull you over, you might have a chance to get away with it. if he finds its retractable and realizes that he did see your car without a front plate he can still issue the ticket . Me, I'd laugh, but i'd never pull you over in the first place. I hate plates on the front of nice cars. now on that bucket o' junk altima, thats another story.

Thanks for the post. I have been looking for this solution to god-awful front plates. Here in Portland, the meater maids ticket for no plates while you're parked...$58.

BTW Cole, we have about 40 license plates to chose from, there has got to be one that looks good on the CTT
