hidden or retractable license plate
I’m building a rear roll pan and thinking of using a hidden or retractable license plate. Is anybody using a hidden or retractable license plate on their truck? If so what setup are you using? Could you share some pictures?
I was thinking about this kit. Thanks |

Re: hidden or retractable license plate
If that is the one that I have seen before, then you would be better off making your own. The one I'm thinking off is all plastic and just plain junk. But I could be confusing it with a different brand.

Re: hidden or retractable license plate
The brand that I have seen is ALTEC. Not worth the price. Just my opinion.

Re: hidden or retractable license plate
I used this kit on my 32 roadster. Very nice kit, complete with easy instructions and all the hardware to mount it even the license plate light. It runs on vacuum so you need to run a long hose from the front to the back though. Hope that helps.

Re: hidden or retractable license plate
Lol, not going to work for the red light cams......takes too long to retract! But it does have a switch but it's for how you want it to operate. You can have it automatic or stay up with the car on and one other I can't remember. Yes that's my roadster. It's a fun car but I should have built a coupe, to many crummy days around here to drive it. But I guess since it's a highboy I couldn't drive it even if it was a coupe without the fenders.

Re: hidden or retractable license plate
it cracks me up when they have personalized plates and hideaway gizmos
to my it just seems like something that can go wrong at the worst time and cause unnecessary grief at the most inopertune time
