Smile Are you James Bond;) Go to tracks/shows :P LCD switching license plates ;)

OK, these aren't 100% new technology, but I couldnt resist posting this up.

presently overseas finalising these..

I am purely putting this video up for reference purposes only, this is NOT a for sale advert, just thought you may be interested.

If/when they become available, we will be forum sponsors.

I am just quite impressed at how these came out.

The other ones out there are just so terrible, and so damn obvious, they are around 1.5 inches thick and always stay cloudy.

Anyways, just thought you might find it a cool watch

Good lord. I find it far easier and less worrisome to just keep it no more than 5 over.

The real question is, can we get some kind of sensor that could pick up on say.. A FLASH, and activate the film... You know.. so my tag doesn't show up in PICTURE, like at CAR shows.. Yeah.. I don't want my tag in peoples CAR SHOW pictures..

My only problem with those is that it's see through when there's power running to it so if you leave your car parked outside for a while your battery will die at which point the film isn't see through any more.

They just installed some of those automatic tolls near where I live that read your license plate and then charge you. These would be awesome!!
