yep cool- I have been looking into it to eliminate the "no front plate" parking tickets.

these are all "swing up" kits-

But the slide-under kit in the video is awesome- wonder who makes it.
Here is a manual one: http://www.formulaimage.com/products...px?prod_id=550 and they claim to have an automatic one coming soon: http://www.formulaimage.com/

Might not be too tough to attach a motor / actuator and switch.

Ya gotta love that, and it serves the double purpose of protecting the bumper undercarriage from scrapes :p

yeah, looks like first steep driveway or parking lot exit and that puppy is toast.

NOBY Mar 10, 2008 01:14 PM

Wow just what I need, wonder who makes it?

Doc_Porsche Mar 10, 2008 04:37 PM

kilrgt Mar 10, 2008 07:01 PM

I'll take one...where can we find it. I looked at the links , but the one on the vett would work best on our cars.

explain this to me, no front plate parking tickets?

they give you a parking ticket + a ticket for no front plate just for having your car parked on the street with no front plate?

p0rsch3 Mar 10, 2008 08:54 PM

^ Actually, in L.A. you can be parked perfectly legal and get a ticket for no front plate. $25 bucks a pop and not even a fix-it ticket. Sucks.

Same thing in MD.
Once got a warning for not having a front plate. I didn't want to drill the front bumper. This would've saved me.

in IL i used to get those alllll the time, parked legally, get coffe, come out, and 55 dollar ticket.
now i just put a plate on till i figure something out, but i do like the kit
