Motorized hide away license plate bracket

Don't know if anyone has posted this, but if it works, it might be something cool for the front of our cars.

It's not quite as cool technology as the glass license plates that frost up at the touch of the button, but it's pretty cool nonetheless...

Did you notice that, starting 10/1, MA is requiring front plates? The old green ones are verboten, and you HAVE to replace them with the red. And the plates HAVE to be clean. Welcome to the traffic cameras and 1984.

As for the license plate "frosters" (which really just use a current to change an LCD panel)....I haven't actually tried to find one, but it looks like hideaplate.com sells them and I'm guessing you can find them elsewhere.

Here's a sample video from youtube...
