Front Plate Success!!

I guess I am lucky b/c Florida does not require a front plate. But I was curious. You have to have a front plate when you're driving. You have to have a front plate while parked.
So when exactly do you guys retract the front plate?

In Cali, I think you'll be okay if you drive with it off, it's illegal, but everyone drives with it off. However it's a bitch when your parked and a cop gives you a front plate ticket so I'm guessing thats when he retracts it.
Or for car shows!

It would be difficult to do a DIY now that mine and Wezbian's are both installed. However, next time I have my bumper off, I can take some detailed pics. Also, next time Wezbian has some free time, I can take things apart and take pictures of all the wiring.. it's extremely easy!!
As for the question about when I retract it... I drive with it retracted all the time. The reason I have this installed is for the novelty at shows and also to be able to put up in the event I get pulled over for it. Cops around here love cool stuff like this, so they would likely get a kick out of it anyway.

I can't imagine that is legal, heh.
Of course, I still think the one Mythbusters did was cooler
All that being said though... good job!
FYI, those redlight/toll road/speed cameras take multiple pictures to get the front plate, rear plate, and drivers face. This wouldn't really work for evading those.
