Going to a side mount plate. For the guys that have done it, how did you do it? I would take the rear bracket completely out but I'm worried about the tail light harness rubbing on the tire. Any ideas?

 

I did it when I had the stock fender. If I remember right I traced the plate with a white marker and then used a hacksaw to cut the plastic. When you trace the plate move the plate to the right and then cut it. If you don't the plate will look off-center.

 

Could you see what was left over handing down?

 

Oh yeah, I've got the fancy chrome bracket.

 

Place the plate frame on the plastic part and cut it off after you trace it. I put the frame as far up on the plastic as I could.

 

I've got the chrome 1 piece bracket. This thing is huge! Or was, I cut it last night. That's some thick stuff as I went through 2 cut off wheels.

 

Let's see what the finished product looks like!!

 

One of the first things I did when I got my '05. I used a jigsaw. Small,almost unnoticeable improvement...what you do benefit from is NOT noticing the mount as much.

 

This thing could not be cut with a jigsaw. I went through 2 cut off wheels with it using air. This was not the stock plastic mount. Got everything on and it looks pretty damn sexy! Anybody wanna buy a Lava Red Sunglo paint set?

 

Lets see some pics of the finished tag mount. Please !!!!
