I saw this part mentioned in a thread once, but today is the first time I have seen a pic.

It's a bracket for the front licence plate that flips up at speed, increasing the airflow to the radiator.

It's damn ugly, but a good idea. I wish someone would make a refined model out of black ABS, or [the magical] CF.

not clear how it works can you Xplain?

 

Put your hand out of the window while you are driving. This same air pressure pushes back the lower portion of the licence plate, because the bracket is hinged. Then, the licence plate doesn't block the air flow as much as when it is hanging straight down.

When the car is not moving, or moving slowly, the licence plate hangs down in the normal position, perpendicular to the road surface.

thats retarded

 

So much for constructive criticism

i've seen a similar setup on cars in japan where the tag flips up(when travelling at high way speeds) so cops can't see their plates...

 

The ultimate response!

I haven't laughed so hard, all day!!!

Your opinion is as valid as anyone's, but I still have to give you for not explaining why.

Freakin hilarious! Please don't elaborate, Redline, it'll kill the effect.

 

Hmm i think after that explanation I would agree with Redline. What would be handy though is one which changed the plate from an illegal spaced one to the regular plate, when any cops about, just hit the button

 

i think this is a good idea. i would buy one in a heart beat. i'm tired of cops harassing me on my previous car.
