whats the easiest way to do a nice looking tail tuck without spending a bunch of money? for now was just going to cut the plastic that hangs below the plate : )

Chop it off just below the bottom mount hole.

I trimmed the rear mudflap all the way up to the brake lamp, then I moved the whole thing in to make it almost flush with the fender.
I cut and re-welded the license plate bracket so that it is at 90 deg to the fender.
the turn signals are 02 or 03 BMW front fender repeaters, they have them for $12 or $13 each, and they come in clear and amber. they just clip into the fender sheet metal, so I made a "V" bracket out of sheet metal and riveted it in place. the lenses just clip into the "V" bracket.

my front turn signals are mounted on the hand guards, and I eliminated all the stock front light and bar set, and run an Acerbis front headlamp with a HID bulb.
