I don't know what brand it is, my friend has one.
he hasn't paid a single toll since he installed it.
it looks like someone is waving to you from the back of the car.no more camera lights. It's a great invention.

The one that he has must be controlled with a switch and has an electronic component to it. By the links it looks like these are manual.

That second link is pimp. It's low pro and quick. I wish I had that instead of my Stillen bracket.

That looks awesome!!! Is that the Aztec one? How hard is the installation? and where did you put it? under the bumper or did you make a hole on the vent?

you gotta remove the bumper and cut out a rectangle hole on the lower mesh grill and mount the motorized bracket onto the bumper reinforcement bar with self tapping screws. I wired it directly to my battery just so you can play with it anytime.
