I have seen this before but is is great, there is also a LCD screen you can fit over your plate/part of that goes black when powered up, but clear at other times, but don't know where from.

Seen smaller versions of this for motorbikes that actually fold the plate in half lengthways.

because if the police do a reg check you will get tugged as it aint on what it should be,and the foreign ones will get you tugged straight away.the flip down they wont notcie unless you are thick enough to do it in front of a copper.

In Japan its a mega common mod, always has been.

Spring loaded front plate so folds flat at speed (as long as you fit it in the right place) so front facing cameras cant get you.

Flip down (as per link) rear plate too.
