just a little peek of what im doing..

Update 10.23.10

have to pull out the front bar to drill holes


also moved the AC canister back a little and bent the AC lines to prevent rubbing issues. this was the easy part



hard part is drilling the 2 small holes under the front bar, broke 2 drill bits on this one....


and drill 4 holes under bumper.


had to trim the plate bracket a bit about half off, reason: when hidden the
bracket sticks out about 1 1/2" and that bugs me a little...once trimmed it can be pushed back more when hidden.

so far so good next step wiring this baby up.

 

OMG.... I love you.


More info on DIY or buying this? For sure going to get this. "What do you mean officer, the plates on there."

 

 

ive been thinkin about for a long time the only bad thing is that you have to use a remote control to do it. i want to install it to the car either a button in the dash or hook it to the alarm. ex: when i arm the car it will flip up, disarm flip down. that involves a new relay and a whole lot of thinking....P.I.T.A. also you have to hold it, can't just press the button.. and some bending of the ac lines and that canister in the middle of the front grill.. has to be bent back... small details .. small.

 

Would buy this. I'm guessing the cost to make this is low since the parts are small and cheap.

 

i got this from swiftmotorsports.com... and nope its not cheap about 150.00 a pop....but free shipping...

ill post pics of how i did it when im done, the car is at a paint shop. im gettin a full repaint on the car and shavin a few items like front bumper and rear key hole.

Nice ...

 

Nice, I agree with hunterD though. I'd rather have a button inside.
I'd put it where my roof switch is supposed to be

Heck I'd even get a fake roof switch to make it look legit.

 

Sick! I was always thinking of making something like this. Also a license plate in the rear that rotates, a la Transporter style. Then I can run red lights all day

 

Great job.
