***UPDATED W/ VID***Front Hide Away Plate Done Different

So this was a little weekend project of mine I wanted to do the hide away plate but not have to worry about it on the bottom of the car. I am waiting for the mesh for the fog light holes right now that's why the one is still in and the other was left out.

Heres the video link,

I ALSO INCLUDED A PIC OF THE FOG DELETE MESH I FINALLY GOT SO NOW EVERY ONE CAN GET OFF MY CASE ABOUT ONLY HAVING ONE FOG LIGHT!!!

Very cool. I considered the same, but ultimately wanted to keep my fogs. Looks good

wow! So clean! Very nicely done!!! now you have the best of both worlds, number 1 being you wont get hassled by the cops. 2. being when your at car shows or meets, you can nicely tuck your front plate away for a nice clean look.

The only thing I don't like is the slit on the bumper.

I considered doing mine that way but I put it under the car. Do you have any video clips of it.

I'm confused. Does the plate flip down? If so, is it manual or do you have a servo attached to it wired to a switch?

If it's motorized, that's pimp. If not, doesn't really make much sense.

That's pretty clever, ain't gonna lie, downside is that you're rolling with one fog light now. Where did you buy the flip up?

A video is definitely required.
