Vanishing Digital License Plate
�
�
I searched before I posted this. I thought this was an awesome idea. I had something to the same effect on my GSX-R750. It was just an actuator kit that flipped the plate down when I hit the button. This seems like a better idea lol

I'd like to know where and how much I can buy one for.

that would be nice if being chased by a cop and you decide to get away like in the movie the fast and the furious :banana:

Looks like they used an electrochromic panel (you can get that sort of thing for windows, too) - you apply current and it goes opaque. I don't know where you purchase that, but I know that 3M is one of the companies that sells the material (they had it in the demonstration center when I worked at 3M in Austin)

Yeah I seen one of those for a WRX but i cant remember the site.
| Subaruski | 07-28-2006 11:10 AM |
ok as soon as you can buy these i want one
| LastResort | 07-28-2006 11:13 AM |
I think that is just a regular license plate with a piece of smart glass over it.

Ok, so it's cool but what do you use it for? Is there any practical application?
Is it just for James Bond / Spy Hunter fans and collectors? Impressing friends?

Of course theres application! its for outrunning police after you've done something stupid! Hiding your liscence plate before/after a chase makes you teh uncatchables! :rolleyes:

I guess you can run a red light in the middle of the night without the fear of getting spotted by those cameras. That's the only benefit I see.

I want all my existing car windows replaced with that. Arm the alarm, no one can see in, and the interior will stay cooler.
| Call_me_Tom | 07-28-2006 02:52 PM |
I'd get it for the camera's at the intersections. I may not be doing anything wrong but I don't trust those camera's.
| DrD | 07-28-2006 04:10 PM |
I imagine having one which is triggered by Ka radar would be nice - particularly around here - we have redlight cameras (no big deal) but they are retrofitting them to be photoradar stations as well... it's a non-moving violation, so it doesn't hurt your license, but if they stick to their guns, they promise $100 for 1mph over the limit (which is insane) up to a max of $400 for higher speeds...
| dru_hill | 07-28-2006 04:25 PM |
It would be sweet until you left it on by accident and you got pulled over for having no liscense plate visible. :)
| teh Phil | 07-28-2006 04:26 PM |
The only other application I could see is hiding the license plate at the track.....but you could just take it off....

Off topic but that lambo had a Bullrun sticker on the back. Last saturday I was driving west on I-80 in PA and saw a bunch of cars with bullrun stickers. Saw qutie a few lambo's, cruised next to a new Ford GT and a really nice 7-series BMW. Was funny to look over and see the BMW packed with four people and all three passengers passed out cold.

haha, i was thinking the same thing... how descrete is a a freaking LAMBO??? if you put that on a civic or camry that would be a lot more realistic as a way to run from the cops.

I wish it went black instead of opaque. That way you could turn the tint of your windows on and off, or maybe even adjust the tint level. :banana:

Here we paid for the roads, now they are tolling them... could be a good way to get what we paid for.
| kevlarcupid | 07-30-2006 02:49 PM |
That was developed for one of the Bullrun teams. Hence the "bullrun" on the back of the car. It would be sweet to compete in one of those, and the speeds those guys are doing, they want to dodge as many speed cameras as possible.
| Donzo | 07-31-2006 08:53 AM |
Scoobdude has a good point lol I'd love to have one for those street light cameras, not that I blow red lights or stop signs, but in NYC they turn green, yellow, red in 3 seconds so you end up blowing a yellow every single time. With one of these though, I'd be tempted to be a little more careless on the roads lol Road rage?? Of course! That tool on the cell phone can't get my plate when I run him off the road!! haha jk jk I don't do that
| Donzo | 01-26-2010 12:42 PM |
Bump from the dead!
It's been almost 4 years... has anyone actually bought one for their Subaru?

This is the furthest I have ever gotten towards getting one. From an email over a year ago:
Hi sorry for the delayed reply...
if i am responding to you and you already got a response im sorry, i just have hundreds of e-mails for this glass...right now were in the research and development phase and still testing working out the small bugs...up to now all our prototypes needed a gap for 100% privacy and that gap was about an inch or so...but recently we figured out how to make it go completely black and put it right up against the plate...also when the glass was clear the power was on which meant constant power needed to stay clear...our new prototype as it sits is the opposite way and needs no power to stay clear and only goes black when it is powered on, thats no big deal though because the other way around drained such little power that it would only drain the battery if left on for a day or two without starting the car.
we hope to have this all done and ready to go soon!...also im located in canada.
Thanks for all your patience.

It would be good for dodging those cameras. My town installed them for a short while. (we voted them away) Anyways, I received a ticket for running a red light by .14 of a second. Worst part was I would have been making a right turn on red anyways, which is legal.
It looks cool, but I think I would feel too deviant to actually buy one.

I don't involve myself in politics very often; from what I understand it was a bill that was passed. WE can not repeal it because it's an indirect democracy. We can NOT vote for the people we voted to put in office who put up cameras.
But politics suck.
Moar info on the invisiplates.
