    Check this out:

    I don't actually have the product but remember the thread coming up over the summer. I would go with something like the SkidPlate before throwing a motorized/mechanically over engineered device on one of the more abused spots on the car. Just my $.02

    Re: Front Plate

    I just bought a SkidPlate. It's fine for what it is.

    I just look at the front of my car with that plate on it and fucking HATE it.

    I so preferred just having the temp tag on the back.

    will work amazing at red light cams, but you will have to get one for the back.

    I might have to look into this. Ive been running no front plate for a couple of months now without any hassle. As soon as i get nailed though i will have to grab it. I hate NJ laws.

    I don't think that it would work at the rlc's as one normally doesn't plan on running a red light. It usually happens by accident, therefore you probably wouldn't be able to toggle the plate. At least that 's what happens with me.

    Re: Front Plate

    I have one with the RS$ all black grille. Looks great, even when its up, because its located father down on the bumper.... I reccomend one for 50$ if you hate front plates, or get the mototized one for like 150 I think.
