The flip license plates are a great little item. They are on a lot of hot rods. But I have seen a couple things go wrong while using them. People air out on top of them without folding them first, either smashing or dragging them off. Or people getting pulled over for forgetting to expose them again before going down the road. Just something to keep in mind.

That would be my luck, I would forget to raise it and crush the tag. I've seen those and like them but I think I would have bad luck with that one. The one I want is $250 but I think I could make one for uder $100 easy and just have it go between the bed and cab or try to tuck it in the rail.

Just get the motorized flip one and have it activate when you turn on the key.

Well, My truck isn't bagged so I don't have to worry about rippin it off. But I will spend that $140 plus on something else since I have everything sitting out the the shop to throw one together in little over a hour.....
