The PlateVanish Stealth Blackout Double Kit is a front and rear blackout license plate cover with remote built for vehicles running standard USA or Canada plates on both ends. Using LCD glass technology, each cover switches from an 83% transparent readable state to a solid black activated state instantly.
This is the full front-and-rear version of the PlateVanish Blackout system. If you want both plates to have the same clean black display effect for car shows, track events, photo shoots, garage display, or private-property use, the Double Kit is the setup to choose.
Unlike a sliding curtain, flip bracket, or frosted PDLC cover, the Blackout Double Kit uses electronic LCD glass. No plate rotation. No curtain sliding across the plate. No white fog effect. Just a matched pair of blackout license plate covers built for a clean, premium look on both ends of the vehicle.

How This Double Blackout License Plate Cover Works
The Blackout Double Kit uses two LCD glass covers, one for the front plate and one for the rear plate. In the off state, each panel stays at 83% transparency and the plates remain readable. When activated by remote, the LCD layer switches to a uniform solid black state in under one second.
This makes the Double Kit different from a regular tinted plate cover. A tinted cover stays dark all the time. The PlateVanish Blackout is an automatic license plate cover that changes state electronically. When off, it returns to its readable transparent state. When activated, it creates a clean black display effect.
Unlike a license plate curtain, there is no cover sliding across the plate. Unlike a license plate flipper, the plates do not rotate. Unlike a PDLC license plate fogger, the activated state is not frosted white. The Blackout creates a smooth black panel look that fits especially well on dark trim, blacked-out builds, show cars, and photo-ready vehicles.
Built for Full Front and Rear Display Setups
The Blackout Double Kit is made for vehicles that need both plates covered for display use. It is a strong choice for car shows, track events, garage display, private shoots, content creation, and off-road setups where you want the front and rear plate areas to match.
Instead of removing plates by hand or using temporary covers, this electric license plate cover setup gives you a remote-controlled way to switch both plate areas into a clean black display state, then return them to readable again when the covers are off.
Installation Overview
- Remove your existing plates from the front and rear mounting locations.
- Mount each PlateVanish Blackout frame using the existing plate holes on most vehicles.
- Route the power wires into the cabin, trunk, or interior area depending on your vehicle layout.
- Connect each control unit to 12V power using the included cigarette lighter powered control units.
- Test the remotes and confirm each panel switches between clear and black states.
- Place the status indicators where they are easy to see from inside the vehicle.
Direct battery connection wires are available on request for permanent installs. Exact wire routing depends on the vehicle. Many vehicles have existing trunk openings, trim gaps, or grommet areas that can be used for a cleaner install.
Single Kit vs Double Kit
The Single Kit covers one plate, front or rear. It is the right choice if your vehicle only needs one plate covered for display use, or if you only want the effect on one end of the vehicle.
The Double Kit covers both front and rear plates. It is the better choice if your vehicle uses plates on both ends and you want a matched blackout setup. If you are building a full front-and-rear display setup, choose the Double Kit.
Blackout vs Fogger vs Curtain vs Flipper
Each PlateVanish kit creates a different effect. Choose the one that fits your vehicle, your display goal, and your install preference.
- Blackout: Uses LCD glass to switch to a solid black activated state. Best for the cleanest premium look with no moving cover mechanism.
- Fogger / PDLC: Uses PDLC film to create a frosted white privacy effect. Best for buyers who want a frosted electronic look instead of solid black.
- Curtain: Uses a motorized sliding cover. Best for buyers who want a physical cover that moves across the plate.
- Flipper: Rotates the plate using a physical flip mechanism. Best for buyers who want the most dramatic movement and have enough mounting clearance.
Choose the Blackout Double Kit if you want the most polished electronic effect for both front and rear plates.

Why This Is Different From a Static Tinted Cover
A standard tinted plate cover stays tinted all the time. The PlateVanish Blackout Double Kit uses LCD glass panels that change state with remote control activation. When the covers are off, the plates return to their readable transparent state. When activated, the covers switch to solid black for display use.
That difference matters if you want a cleaner and more intentional setup for shows, photos, track days, or private-property display. You are not just adding smoked frames. You are adding a remote-controlled electronic plate cover system for both ends of the vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Blackout Double Kit?
The Blackout Double Kit is the front-and-rear version of the PlateVanish LCD blackout system. It includes two blackout license plate covers, one for the front plate and one for the rear plate.
Is this a front and rear blackout license plate cover with remote?
Yes. This kit is built for front and rear plate coverage and uses remote control activation for the LCD blackout effect.
Should I choose the Single Kit or Double Kit?
Choose the Single Kit if you only need one plate covered. Choose the Double Kit if your vehicle uses both front and rear plates and you want a matched setup on both ends.
Are the plates readable when the Blackout covers are off?
Yes. In the off state, the LCD glass returns to 83% transparency so the plates remain readable. It is not an empty open frame, so a slight reduction in clarity is expected.
Do the covers become completely black when activated?
Yes. The current Blackout specification states that the activated state is 100% opaque solid black.
How fast does the double blackout kit switch?
The LCD panels switch in under one second. The transition is electronic, so there is no curtain sliding or bracket flipping during activation.
What is the difference between Blackout and Fogger?
Blackout uses LCD glass and turns solid black when activated. Fogger uses PDLC film and creates a frosted white privacy effect. Both are electronic systems with no moving cover mechanism, but the activated look is different.
What is the difference between Blackout and Curtain?
Blackout uses an electronic LCD glass panel with no moving cover mechanism. Curtain uses a motorized cover that physically slides across the plate.
What is the difference between Blackout and Flipper?
Blackout changes the plate cover from clear to black electronically. Flipper physically rotates the plate using a motorized bracket and requires enough clearance around the plate area.
Does the remote come paired?
Yes. The remotes come pre-paired from the factory. Connect power, test the remotes, and the panels should respond immediately.
How far does the remote work?
The current specification lists the remote range at 50 meters, or about 165 feet.
Does it fit my license plate?
This USA/Canada version is built for standard 12" x 6" plates. The max plate size is 157mm x 309mm, or about 6.18" x 12.16". Confirm your plate size before ordering.
Is it waterproof?
The current product specification lists an IP65 waterproof rating. Avoid pressure washing directly against the panel face, wiring connection points, or control components.
Is this for public-road use?
No. PlateVanish products are intended for off-road, show, track, photo, and private-property display use only. Do not activate the covers while driving on public roads. Always check your local laws before purchase or use.

Keeping Your Blackout Covers Running
- Keep the glass panels clean: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove road grime and water spots.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals or rough pads on the LCD glass surface.
- Avoid direct pressure washing: Do not pressure wash directly against the panel face, wiring connections, or control components.
- Test blackout and clear cycles monthly: Confirm both panels transition cleanly in both directions, especially between events.
- Check the power connections: If activation feels slow or inconsistent, reseat the 12V plugs and inspect the wiring paths.
- Replace remote batteries if needed: If remote range drops, replace the CR2032 coin cell batteries.
