Default Gauging interested on a new product!

Hi everyone,

I make anti-photo radar covers, that actually work. They are not the same ones that mythbusters checked out, and on my website I actually compare it and tell you why they are not, and also have alot of pictures and videos showing it at work from exact angles. I have had friends personally test these and received no ticket (But obviously can never guarantee anything). I have also sold many on other sites with good feedback. Also legality wise, there are some states like Ohio where it is illegal to have anything on your license plate period, but alot of states like Arizona where there have actually been court ruling that they are legal. ( So you would need to check for yourself, but if there is enough interest I can write a guideline or collect info on the different states if needed)

The point of this post is to gauge interest and if any of you guys would be interested in buying something like this.

Please do not PM me for the website because I will not give it out until I become a forum vendor, as by the rules... But I also do not want to pay alot of money to become forum vendor without knowing if anyone would be even interested in this community.

So if you have photo radar in your area, please respond to this thread and also in the poll with a yes or no... If you do not have photo radar in your area then please do not respond with your feedback.

I do not advise breaking the law by speeding or running red lights, these are for privacy purposes

MODS: I think this adheres to the rules as I am not posting my website but strictly gauging interest. If it does not, no problem, please delete this post and I will never mention it again.

Thanks everyone!

You are going to have to be A LOT more specific about your product.

There are lots of engineers here that can easily tell if it would work, not to mention, plenty of class A photographers to know what a camera can, and can't capture.

In my experience, the ONLY ones that work are the privacy glass plate covers, as seen on some lambo forums. With the flick of a switch, the glass clouds up, completely blurring your plate. However, they cost almost $1000.

I do not want to reveal too much additional information until I am a supporting vendor and have paid my dues. I am simply trying to gauge interest, assuming the product does work (I would be open to sending an example to the site admin or trusted source for verification and support). BTW the price would be $44.95.

A simple yay or nay will suffice for now.

Dude...honestly, I'm trying to help but it's simple business.

Who on a sports car forum, wouldn't want a product that can be proven to work for $45 bucks?

Just to please you, I'll say yay. If you can prove it works, for $45 bucks, I'm in.

Having any sort of cover over the license plate is illegal in California. I'm not sure about other states, but that's a huge chunk lost there. I have the photoblocker spray and applied 3 coats as directed. Everything seems okay so far.

Here in PA license plate covers are legal and sold everywhere. I would certainly pay $45 for a cover that I thought would keep me from getting a ticket.

I am not sure where they use Camera's in PA but I know they do in Baltimore
