did some searching here, and on yahoo. I was watching an old movie and saw a hatch with the license plate flip up by a motor and these lights kick on and blind you. kinda ricey or wahtever but i thought it was kool. just wondering if anyone sells a kit for it or something.

 

What movie?

Im guessing what you could do is get a motor from a car with flip lights and mount it in the trunk. Then wire up the lights and use high beams. Sucks to be the people behind you, thats for sure.

 

A kit for that? no way.

Thought you meant a flip up/down kit for a license plate, was going to say look on street rod site, they're

 

be careful, cops would put your nuts in a vise if they saw that kinda stuff on your car.

cool idea, but harsh reprecussions

 

yeah.... they do sell motorized license plate fold down kits for hot rods, but they go under the bumper and fold up flat against it when they're up....... i just cant picture how to get a complete rotating fram with lights on the other side and have it be a good seal too..... just thinkin

 

like the license plate flipped down and i guess he kicked on a swtich to hit the lights. i guess some type of motor was used to flip it down.

Great if you need a front plate but have an FMIC that you don't want to block flow to.

 

good looking out, thanks man.

 

did the lights happen to be small fog lights? if it is, its a show car i saw in jersey. i think they called it the 007 car. it is gold right? i talked to the guy, and it was all custom done.

 

lil too risky

 

just use some RC car servos. If you use two im sure it will be enough.

 

i think it was a gold hatch. im sure that it was all custom done but i hae also seen it on a wrx at some local shows here.

 

I have seen the kits that make the plates retract up into the car for the streetrod which gave me an Idead. Would be cool to figureout a similar idead to the front where it would look like it was mounted properly when sitting still but would hide away at the touch of a button. How dumb would a cop feel if he pulled you over for a non plate when he gets out of his car and bam, its right there where it should be. After he drives away feeling pretty lame, hit the switch and you're driving with your fmic obstruction free. I dunno would just be funny.

 

I remember seeing something on here a little while ago. It was a bracket and when u went like 40 mph+ the license plate would flip up due to the wind pressure I guess. Was pretty cool. But seriously, you could just find some small actuators for this.

 

It's been done before...on a Sol I believe it was. He rigged it so when you turned the A/C vent a certain way the license plate flipped up and fog lights shown on the person behind you (good for tailgaters ) I'm not exactly sure how it was done...it was my buddy's cousin or somethin that did it. I'll try to find out for you

 

That is great - I remember seeing something like that on an old James Bond movie...

not to mention that it would work great against those sneaky photo radar vans!!
Take a picture of this you bastards (no plate there) and try and track me down..... LOL

yea man, if you could get some more detials. did some searching nd i have found brackets that allow you to flip it down but manually. still trying to come up wiht an idea on using electirc motors to due it. **** the police.lol

 

RC car servos would work..If you want to try some let me know! Ican get you some cheap.

 

Reminds of the movie "The Transporter" where the guy had rotating license plates on his bimmer.

 

check apperance forum, just a suggestion

never heard of this, and i wouldnt do it
