Best License Plate Covers For Your Vehicles from Phantomtagprotector

When one talks of license plate covers these days, it is usually the kind that prevents traffic cameras from taking a clear photo and thus helping motorists avoid receiving tickets that would represent a drain on their pockets. That is understandable because traffic light cameras the hotly debated and motorists think they are within their rights to install plate covers that protect them from being identified.

However, not all license plate covers by Phantom Tag Protector are meant as protection against traffic or red light cameras though this is a matter of concern. The plain and simple function of these covers is to protect the license plates. License plates must be clear, legible and must not fade or be damaged otherwise the motorist is liable to pay a fine. Even assuming motorists drive safely and never put themselves at the risk of being captured on traffic cameras, they must keep their license plates protected against fading due to exposure to sunlight, damage by weather, by mud, by dirt and by water or any corrosive chemicals.

The purpose is simple: protect the license plate. One may think just any transparent acrylic cover will serve the purpose. It will not. Normal acrylic sheets are meant to be used indoors, away from exposure to UV. UV has two effects on plastics: it yellows the plastic and turns it opaque and two, it makes the plastic brittle. Phantomtagprotector covers are made of special acrylic with UV stabilization. The sheets are precision cut and machined with slots in exact locations for a perfect fit. In fact, once these are in place, it would be difficult to say there are covers in place unless one looks at the plate closely.

Motorists may not know it but in some States it is illegal to use license cover plates. This does not only include covers that are meant to block traffic cameras but also any kind of spray or even plain cover plates. Motorists are penalized and have to pay a fine if they are caught. The trick is to avoid being caught by installing plates that blend seamlessly and are not quite so obvious. One could go in for cheap plates that stand out and invite attention of police officers leading to fines. Cheaper plates yellow and crack within a short time. Better quality plates from Phantomtagprotector last for years without any deterioration in quality. They cost a little bit more but last four times longer than normal acrylic plates. They are easy to fix and just as easy to take off.  The acrylic used in these plates is clean, smooth and does not collect dust or dirt. In case it becomes splattered with mud or dirt a little bit of hosing down will keep it clean. The acrylic plate takes all the beating and keeps the plate looking like new. Getting new license plates is expensive and time consuming; keeping them protected is not. If and when a motorist buys a new car, he does not have to worry about the plates looking out of place because they remain as fresh as new when they are covered by the protectors.
