They do hang down low. Since I live in Colorado, I am more worried about the snow. I'm wondering if we got 5 inches of wet snow would it just tear off? That's why I bought the cheap one.

That's the reason why I didn't get it. If you bolt it up securely to the undertray, it won't fall off easily but still, there's a risk. By the cheap one, you mean the one with no motor right?

Yes..... no motor is the cheap one at $60.00. i think the motorized is $120.00.
Personal opinion. Since I'm in NY we already have by far the ugliest plate in the Union. Where I put it and how it sits can't make it any worse. It's f*cking school bus yellow with sh*t blue letters. My bracket does allow me to have it very near centered. I can remove it in 30 seconds if I want, shows etc. Add to that, no holes if I resell to someone out of state. Best answer is to get rid of the front plate law but this is NY and we are a total mess.

I see this as completely pointless imho. Why remove the front license plate only to install it again? You will have to get a front licenses plate anyways. It will look weird to have bumper plugs than a tow hook mounted plate. If your car was never drilled I would understand but, there is already a hole there so whats the point?
Plus if you're thinking about running without a front plate in a 2 plate state your asking for potential trouble. For me I have tinted front windows so if I have to remove it, it will be $90 down the drain. Not to mention my tinted side markers so there goes another $50. All that will have to be fixed for a completed fix it ticket.

I have one on my DBM R. Great product, I have not had to display the plate so far and keep it in the retracted position. :thumbsup:

Flyboy, do you do a lot of driving in the city? If not just go without the front plate. Cops in the suburbs won't really bother you, at least in my experience. I haven't run a front plate in 25 years and have only been pulled over once, and that was just a warning no ticket.

You are right, def just my opinion. However, i am from NY and the plates arent the most attractive. Colorado has nice plates, just dont want to drill into the bumper.

You're lucky. I ran no front plate for a less than a day and got a ticket while parked in front of my mom's house for 10 minutes. I'm not worried about being pulled over. I'm worried about it when it's parked. In NYC, we park on the street a lot when we go places.

Imagine you take your wife/gf out for dinner and tell her "wait, i need to put on the plate" :lol:.
But that's what the swift hideaway plate is for.
