So i live in a front plate state, and it drives me crazy. I hate the look. So I did some research and found this:

http://www.swiftmotorsports.com/prod...8351216836be6c

It comes either manual or motorized. It has a pretty steep price tag but i think the idea is cool. I just wanted to see what you guys thought, see if you think i may run into any problems if i decided to go with it? I did a search but came up with nothing.

$60 is quite a lot for that mod
i've seen a diy somewhere for that before...
but if really want to drive without your plates in the front then go for it

i saw that a while back and thought about it, but if u r like me with a slammed tc its not worth it. especially a motorized one. i was going to put it under my front lip since that would be the most convenient place, but my car too low for it. So i finally made up my mind and got a ptuning license plate relocator kit.

$60 is not bad considering that other one that goes where your tow hook is $75!

I like this one more! That way, if you ever get pulled over, the cop is like "you do not have a front mounted plate" and you just act stupid and kinda slap your forehead and go: "OH, it must have been blown back into the grill...gimme one sec..." and go pull it out

lol he can't give you a ticket then!

I am getting that, I think it looks neat!

Yeah, that's the problem i foresee, I don't want to buy the holder and drill the holes only for it to be ripped off a few days later. Still though, i think i may give it a try if i find myself with $60 in my pocket.

and I've made my own custom relocator so far, i wonder how hard it would be to fabricate one of these...

i'd like to see you pull that one on a real police officer...

i doubt it'll fly that easily.
