Cool Motorized front plate?

I've been stopped twice in the last two weeks for no front plate. (same officer) two different cars. Once in my CTT and once in my 928S4. (think next Sunday I will take my 951 and see if he will stop me againhilarious)

Anyone installed one of these motorized from plates on their 928? Pics of the install?

Here's one, pretty cheap also. I wonder how hard it would be to fit in the S4's grill.

What's the thought process behind this? Pop up the plate if you see a cop? Push the button as he's walking up to the car so you can argue there is a front plate? Just for car shows?

I guess I'm trying to figure out what the point is as well. either you have a plate on the car or you have the backside of the plate showing up close to the ground...

I posted about this last month. My feeling is ride with it up and down at shows or when admiring. However if you look closely, seems not a good option for the underbite of a 928 nose. Seems you need a squared nose to flip up properly. I could be mistaken though.
