Default NEW Product* Remote Control Front license plate bracket!! Raise or lower in seconds

You guys have been asking for our retractable license plate bracket, but in a remote control version....we finally have it available!

Have you ever worried about getting a ticket from the authorities in one of those "front plate states"? If you have and you hate the thought of installing a plate on the front of your C6 then this might be the item you need.

With the push of a button you can raise or lower the license plate. This installs in under 30 minutes. Once the license plate bracket is installed, you can simply run a wire from the license plate mount to your battery and you are finished!

Picture of the frame lowered, hidden from site:


We also have the old style available, where you raise and lower manually.

For the remote control verion, please click here:

Price: $139.95 less 5% with coupon SAVE.

This is the exact same as the original non-remote model, I know its been tested up to 85mph, more than that I don't know, but it will hold, it locks into place.

You just run a wire from the unit to your battery. The wire is included in the kit.

I've been wishing for something like this! Will the included wire reach the battery on the Z06 or does it mount to the fuse box under the hood?

Is there a picture of the retractable unit on a C6 Z?

The Z's have a front lip which makes the front much lower than a C6, and I want to see how much further this license plate once retracted takes from your clearance.

If you have the manual version is there an upgrade kit to convert that?

I have been looking for an automatic one for a while! I don't want to have it displayed unless I get pulled over!! =) Could you post a video of it? Could you give me some details about how it is actuated? Is it waterproof? Does it have a warranty?

We'll check on that for the Z06 as the battery isn't under the hood. We
ll let you know as soon as we find the answer for you.

Thanks for the question, there won't be a drain on the battery. On our 2005 we start the car once a month or so in the winter anyway.

We'll try to post a video as soon as possible. It is water/weatherproof. There is a wire that is run from the fuse box to the bracket. This does come with a one year warranty as well.
