Here is my 3rd "How To:" for you guys. This is my way in making a fender eliminator with spare parts from the OEM license plate holder/rear signal lights. Some people call it "The Space Ship.' LOL! It cost me nothing and it came out pretty clean IMO.
This will cost you nothing! But if you want bright LED then its $5. I used a spare LED I had so it cost me $0.
This is assuming you have removed the OEM rear plate/signals already. But if you haven't it's 4 bolts under the passnger seat.
----------------------------
1. Remove the 2 RED rear reflectors that was next to the rear signal lights. Remove the brackets that is holding the reflectors. Like this:
2. Now, you can use your own bolts but I thought to make this cooler by using all spare parts. Break the reflectors apart and use the bolt and srew. You will use this to bolt the license plate on. Hammer to crack it open and then you will have to twist and cut it using a wire cutter/plyers. It should look like this:
3. Using the bolts & screws that was holding the OEM License plate holder under screw the brackets on(the brackets that was holding the red reflectors. Like this. * you can choose if you want to use the front holes or back holes.
*option* The the screws are a little long so if you want to shorten them you can use a couple of washers like this:
4. Bend your License plate to your desired angle.
5. Using the screws and bolts you broke from the red reflectors screw your license plate on. It should look like this:
TADA there is your free Fender Eliminator!!

Now for Lights!
Option A. is the free one. I went with option B because I like the LED look but if you are in a budget Option is perfectly fine
You can use the OEM lights that was lighting the license plate. Remove/Take it apart. If you are going to use this then you should put the brackets for the license plate on the holes like the picture above on step 3 so you can hang the lights on the hole. here is the light that I took apart from the OEM parts.
Hook it up to the original connector inside, hang it a little through the hole and you have a plate light!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option B is the $5 one
You are going to need LED strip like this. You can purchase the 30cm LED strip through ebay and you can cut it to your desired length.
I bought my LEDs through this guy. Reliable and fast shipping:

1. Screw the brackets on the back holes.
2. Drill a small hole on the plate and run the wires throught it. You don't have to but I suggest to because you want to make the wires least visble if you drill a little hole next to the LED.
3. 3M double sided tape the LEDs on the plate.
4. Run the wires through one of the holes. Neatly hide the wires.
5. Connect the wires where the OEM plate light were.
There you go!
