Default Power Folding Front Plate Bracket

Has anyone installed the Sto-N-Sho (i believe) power (remote fob operated) front license plate bracket on their C7
A local shop does it on their high end cars and say there's no problem doing in on the C7
Wondering what experiences people have and if they could post Pictures or Video of it in action.

Thanks.

Not on my C7 but put one on my other car with the C7 tail lights (Camaro). Works great but you loose some ground clearance. Have to be a little more careful with curbs. I just don't put the front plate on the C7. Easy DIY

Of course that's my concern, clearance. I live Windsor Ontario area so heavy police presence municipal and provincial. Also, not many vette's here, so, it will draw a lot of attention from the fuzz. I "was" going to go with the tickets for as often as i got caught but found out now they are 180 a pop. Also, I need to take this car across the border so no way to get into Canada to Ontario without a plate on the front without getting held up/trouble.
I am hoping someone has put this on and can validate it's use/clearance issues . I have no concerns about the product itself, just the clearance and looks when up and hidden.
Thanks

I have the (manual) removable Sto N Sho which looks and works great. It is a well made piece that detaches easily. The auto retractable version is specifically outlawed in TX
