Remote controlled license plate ?

I have searched the net for the last hour to no avail.
To be found- flippers, curtains, and various other configurations.
I am hoping to locate a remote-controlled unit that flips it dwn or up and pulls it under.
I found an almost..but it is not remote-controlled

reason-I have radiators up front and in the desert, I want them free-flowing

thanx for the help in advance !

When I had the 944 Turbo, I called the state patrol and asked if I could trim the top and bottom off the front license plate for better cooling.

They said as long as the numbers stay readable, it's legal.
Trimmed the plate, never had a problem.

OK, I guess thats an answer, and have done that in the past.
But -not the answer I am looking for.
Hoping for a well-made unit being available somewhere.
thanx

This doesn't exactly fit your goal, but there was a similar desire for 1st gen miatas. The mount was on the front bumper near the radiator inlet. Some enterprising folks used a free hanging piano hinge to mount the front plate. The theory was that at speed, the airflow would push the plate so it was horizontal and didn't interfere.

seems like sort of a tough search cause of people trying to avoid photo radar and stop light stuff. I'm sure it's out there tho!

Three? I found a slew of sources with my google ssarch of "remote control flip down license plate". Some of the sources may be repeats of the same device. Here are just a few sources.
