Well, I got tired of looking at that unsightly rear end while sitting in my garage smoking a good cigar today, so I got out the tools and chooped the sucker off. I made the license plate brackets out of some scrap plates that fit the bill perfectly. I made my initial line with a sharpee, then a shallow cut with a razor blade. I made about four passes with the blade so that where I wanted to cut was clearly defined. Then I cut it off using a Dremel cutter. I then smoothed it out with a fine grinding wheel, and finished it off by hand with 220 grit sandpaper. The license plate brackets bolt in through the bottom of the undertail storage area and using the factory bolts worked just fine. The license plate light works fine using this location. I now have to order one of those Clear Alternatives tailights with the integrated signal. A good excuse to to also order a CF rear hugger too!
