Your front bumper is the face of your car. So why let an ugly, bolt-on license plate ruin it? The Stealth Plate Vanisher gives you a clean front end at the press of a button — no plate visible, no frame cluttering up your bumper, and no drilling into your paint.
The Problem Every Car Owner Ignores
Let's be honest — front license plates are the enemy of clean aesthetics. Between the cheap bracket your dealership bolted on, the screw holes in your bumper, and the road grime that builds up behind the plate, your front end takes a beating.
Most enthusiasts just accept it. Some remove their plates entirely and risk tickets. Others invest in tow-hook mounts or offset brackets that still leave a visible plate front and center.
But there's a better option — one that lets you keep your plate mounted and invisible when you want it that way.
Meet the Stealth Plate Vanishers
The Stealth Plate Vanishers is a motorized, remote-controlled plate retraction system. Your license plate mounts to a universal frame that sits beneath your front bumper. When you press the remote, the entire plate retracts horizontally — sliding out of sight under the bumper. Press it again, and it slides back out.
That's it. One button. Plate gone. Bumper clean.

Why Enthusiasts Love the Vanishers
1. A Truly Clean Front End
Unlike plate covers or curtains that still show a frame on your bumper, the Vanisher makes the plate disappear completely. When retracted, there's nothing visible. Your bumper looks exactly the way the manufacturer intended.
2. Bumper Protection
Front plates are notorious for trapping dirt, moisture, and debris against your bumper paint. Over time, this causes scratches, paint fade, and corrosion right where everyone looks first. The Vanisher eliminates that contact, your bumper stays cleaner, longer.
3. Universal Fit
The Vanisher frame is designed to accept any plate size. If your plate doesn't match the mounting holes exactly, you simply drill small alignment holes in your plate to match. Whether you're running a standard US 12" × 6" plate, an EU plate, or anything in between, it works.
4. Plug-and-Play Installation
The Vanisher connects to any standard 12V source. The simplest route is plugging into your cigarette lighter or accessory outlet. For a cleaner install, you can hardwire directly to your battery. Either way, no complex electronics or ECU tapping required.
5. Custom Mounting Options
While the standard mount sits beneath the bumper, many customers get creative. The Vanisher can be integrated into your grille, behind a custom fascia, or anywhere that has enough clearance for the plate to retract fully. As long as the travel path is clear, you can make it work with your build.
Installation Overview
Here's what the install process looks like at a high level:
- Remove your existing front plate.
- Position the Vanisher bracket under your front bumper and find the best mounting spot.
- Secure the bracket using the supplied hardware. Adjust the sliding slots for proper retraction depth.
- Mount your plate onto the motorized frame and verify smooth operation.
- Connect the wiring harness and route the cable through the engine bay into the cabin.
- Plug into 12V and test with the remote. Plate should extend and retract smoothly.
The entire install can be done in under an hour with basic hand tools. No lift required — though it helps if you want to be thorough with cable management.
Pro Tip: When routing the wire through the firewall, look for existing grommets where factory wiring already passes through. This saves you from drilling and keeps the install reversible.
