Default Remote front license plate
Was wondering if anyone has installed the remote front license plate bracket and how do you like it?

I've seen the kits. Haven't seen one close up yet.

I've seen them on several cars and talked to the owners about them. They seemed to like them.

What do they do? Allow for more air flow?

You can display your mandatory front-plate when necessary and then mostly hide it when not.

I like mine. Easy to instal.
Works well. It is a tad on the flimsy side.
I did have an issue with mine, the manufacturers were terrific. They repaired it fast and got it back to me.

Yes, I like mine!

I bought and installed mine about two years ago and I am happy with remote plate holder. Install was easy, I did make a ramp out of 2 x6 to make front higher so I could get drill under front end . I like when I'm at a cruise night the plate holder folds down out of sight. I don't notice any vibration sounds or any marks on front end.
