Just got done hooking up my plate hider...
also added the LED bolt lights

(click picture to play video)

pretty simple.. it's made for the front plate, so the wires had to be extended...
adding the lights made it take a little longer, most to make sure they didn't bind up with the movement...

for some reason I can get the video to play here in the post?? i tried youtube and photobucket?? any tips??

Not so practical when you are being chased

Any way my point was that in many places the law states that your registration tag should be mounted so that it is always visible, witch means that if you get pulled on a public road and they find a mounting that makes it possible for you to hide your tag they will book you just for having it, even if they can´t prove that you acualy used it.
Maybe it´s diffrent for you guys here in Europe it´s a no no.

bout the same here....covered ,or altered too
heck even some lense covers are illeagle if to dark or relective,for red light cams to see

vegas80step · 02-02-2012, 10:37 PM

Thanks fellas... I'll risk it.. lol

For the most part cops are in Vegas are pretty cool.
8 out of 10 times when they walk up to the window and you tell them you have a gun or two in the truck, they ask "what kind?" 99% of Vegas cops are real gun guys... After 10 minutes of comparing which guns we own, it's on your way with a warning... (if it was a minor reason to pull you over)

between the plate, tinted windshield, limo tinted sides, no side mirrors, no belts and no reverse lights.. I guess if they want to get me, I've given them enough reasons to...

here in illinois a CLEAR cover is even illegal I was pulled over and told its a violation an he was going to give me a ticket I ripped it off in front of him asked what cover (no joke) I still got the speeding ticket though

That's a cool idea. Is there a build thread on that somewhere? If so, I can't seem to find it.

Even if you could provide a few details, such as what kind of motor you used and the switching method, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

vegas80step · 02-04-2012, 02:10 AM

It's a kit - Show N go License Plate by Altec. you can find them on Amazon. About $150 bucks. then you just need to extend a few wires to get it to the back.

Thanks, vegas!
