Best license plate cover/reflector
I would like to put on an anti-photo reflector on my 996. Does anybody have any recommendations on what brand is of the best quality? I'm talking about the kind that is obviously clear, but that's polarized to prevent photographs. Thanks.

I don't know. Here in Charlotte they have red light cameras which don't concern me because I don't run red lights.
HOWEVER they just started a photo speed trap on selected streets and they mail you a $50 ticket and no points or insurance. Some of these streets it is very easy to exceed the limit if your not paying close attention, and I believe they allow you 5 over and thats it.
Question??? what angle are these photos taken from and which cover would work best.
The one cover I see only covers half the plate so it wouldn't take a brain surgeon to search DMV records for a yellow Porsche with a plate that ends in lets say "3928" or begins with "DBT". I think that would be enough for them to go on and still send you the ticket. Anyone???

SYMA, if they don't have your full license plate, the case is dropped. It's all done by computer. There aren't some thick-glassed government employees analyzing each case. Even if there were, it would be a ridiculous case for them to try to prosecute.
It is not possible to blur the entire plate because it has to be effective from all angles. Anyway, I decided to go with these guys:

Hi Matterhorn,
My thought was this. There are not to many yellow C2's in Charlotte and if they had part of the plate they could assume the rest, BUT I do see what your saying. And I LOL on the thick glassed comment.

Matterhorn, can you tell me if the plate is visually refracted with the human eye or is this only something that the camera would see with the flash?
I ask because, if a cop was passing you and saw that part of your plate was not visible then he would book you and in this country you would not only get a vehicle infringment but also you would get booked for obstructing the law. If this is something the human eye can't see then I want one
