You'll need to talk to Q about these kinds of gadgets. He can also set you up with hide away machine guns, oil slick devices, and ejection seats.

I don't think those are made to fit with a lip. You might have to get something custom. Keep in mind how many times you scrape the bottom of your lip, your plate will be getting that abuse also.

I think you can make it fit in the center mesh grill of the bumper.. but you have to cut a piece of it so that the plate can go in and out ...
it might work

I wouldn't waste money on that motorized bracket. How often does one get a no front plate ticket anyways? Plus it's only a $10 fix it ticket. You would have to get stopped over a dozen times to recover the costs of that bracket.

$10 is pretty cheap, it's $50 here. It's not just the price of the ticket, it's also the hassle that goes along with getting stopped. Cops love no front plates because it's a reason to stop you and check everything else out.
