The plate mount is sold at Autozone

I doubt any lowered car can keep that retractable plate holder

I was debating getting one of these but my intercooler is in the way of where the plate would go back only option is to cut the plate or to mount on bottom of AC bumper but that will be way too low and when retracted will get damaged or ripped off.

Yes I do but I haven't been driving my SC around much lately. It has been retired from daily driving duties

The plate frame that supports the plate by the plate's lower holes. Plate frames have holes at the top so it wouldnt work. If I use screws to hold a plate frame from the top it would scratch the bumper.

agree with that ticket stuff... got one myself a month ago... cop tried to say i was speeding and he had tailed me but think he was lying... let me go with just a ticket fix it for no front license plate.... thank god.... b/c fixed it and all done for $25.....but no one has pulled me over in 5yrs for that... haven't had plates forever....but now am not doing stupid things like that ... but the retractable might be cool in one of my cars....!!! not all
