For car enthusiasts, car shows are a great way to show off their custom rides. However, doing so can put your privacy and security at risk, especially if your license plate is readily visible to others at the show. As such, car enthusiasts have long sought an ideal solution to this problem; one that could conceal their license plate and personal information without being an eyesore placed directly on their show-worthy vehicle.
Fortunately, Fantomtec has created a solution that meets all these needs and more.
Fantomtec drives innovation, privacy, and convenience. The team has designed a high-tech, remote-controlled blacked out license plate cover. This product backs their commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with practicality, specifically for car enthusiasts and privacy-conscious drivers. While other license plate solutions often appear bulky, unreliable, or difficult to install, they deliver a sleek, high-quality alternative.
From Problem to Protection: Innovating the Blackout License Plate Cover
The founders of Fantomtec noticed a clear need in the automotive community and acted on their passion for innovation. Car enthusiasts wanted a quick and easy way to protect their privacy at car shows and events. Many car owners that they met wanted to display their vehicles, but felt uncomfortable doing so without any privacy guarantees.
Elsewhere, participants at these shows tried different ways to conceal the license plate, seeking aesthetics, photography, or privacy, and left disappointed with the results. Existing solutions proved cumbersome, unreliable, or required unwanted modifications that clashed with the sleek, high-end look car enthusiasts pursue.
The Fantomtec team seized this opportunity to create a better alternative: high-tech, easy to use, and seamlessly integrated with a vehicle’s design. By integrating this technology into a remote control license plate cover, the brand empowers users to instantly reveal or hide their license plates with a single button press. This feature enhances car presentation at shows and provides quick, reliable privacy for situations like photography, valet service, or private parking.
Logistics and Lessons: Ensuring Fast Delivery of Your Blackout Plates

The team’s biggest early challenge involved navigating supply chain disruptions. Key components for the license plate covers often arrived late from overseas manufacturers, delaying the entire process.
This setback, however, taught the team a core value early: prioritize clear, proactive communication with customers. By staying open and transparent, the brand built honest relationships in its earliest days and provided regular updates to consumers.
The team learned from these technical mishaps and took steps to prevent similar setbacks. Now, Fantomtec holds thousands of units in inventory and offers 1-day shipping on all products. These changes improve the brand’s order fulfillment speed, reduce customer wait times, and strengthen its ability to scale efficiently.
Redefining Automotive Tech with the Next-Gen License Plate Protector
The Fantomtec team’s ultimate dream is to redefine the automotive tech industry by offering innovative solutions that seamlessly integrate into cars with minimal installation. The brand aims to be synonymous with innovation and quality, offering car owners greater control over their vehicles than they ever imagined possible.
As the founders conclude, “Above all, we want to continue solving real problems for our customers while maintaining the same passion, innovation, and customer-first mentality that got us here.”
