Any Engineers On Here?

I ran across this on the SVTOA site: Tuck Away Front Plate for GT500 http://www.ninosport.com/Altec-Show-n-Go-L...p;category=-101

 

It seems to me that there'd be money to be had if someone would design and market a motorized front license plate bracket that would display the plate at the flip of a switch. That would preserve the clean front end and satisfy the law in states that require the ridiculous front plates.

Link does not work for me. Thanks. Jim

That worked. Thanks. In another thread about this product I shared that I bought it and thought so little of it that I offered it to the first member who would pay me to ship it to them. I bought it because I just could not tell from the ad how it looked or worked.

The idea came from the link; not a suggestion to buy one of those devices.

 

There are so many fuss'n over having to have front plates on their cars that I thought there would be a market for an enginner to redesign something like the example only with a motor that could extend and retract the plate at whim. That would keep the clean lines, conform with the laws, and give the owner a great way to screw with law enforcement if they so chose. Fortunately, I live in a state that doesn't require front plates.

Sorry, my bad. That was the point of your post. And, would I pay serious money for the device you describe? Yes. It is a huge issue with many and it would be nice to have a painless solution.

I saw one at SEMA 2006 that looked like a good design but can't find it. I did find this one on e-bay ...it's retractable and motorized and can be wired to ignition if desired, but I have no idea how well it works.

I EM'd the seller to get photos and, basically, get a better "feel" for it.
