I like the clean look.

I think the stock fender does look a bit odd with that part that comes down to the reflector... but I would never remove the whole thing! :)

Hey- why do you have, like, seven blue wires hanging down?????
EDIT: LOL! I think those are hoses from something in the background!

Is this the one from Murph, Projekt D or is this something you fabricated?

I think no plate light is giving LEO's a reason to pull you over though... Not that they will, but it does give them a reason to... :-\

Post by: jqram35 on April 11, 2012, 11:23:57 AM: You should look a bit closer! It has tag lights included in the auction. If you look close at pic above you can see they are on.

I do see the LED lights in your pic JQ, I'm just saying that if a LEO is "looking for" a reason to pull you over that could be one... Kinda like too dark of tint on windows of a car, most LEO's won't care, but some use it as an opp to check you out etc.

Looks great though bro! 8)

Post by: OregonLAN on April 11, 2012, 12:48:21 PM: I chopped my stock fender using a Dremel. I like the looks of the eliminator, but I also like having a little bit of fender to help protect my back from mud roosters.
Title: Re: Fender Eliminator Installed with LED tag lights
Post by: jqram35 on April 11, 2012, 01:13:40 PM: I have gone the dremel route before but wanted to keep the rear fender in case I did not like life without it in the rain.

Post by: SVonhof on April 14, 2012, 12:31:39 PM: I like the looks of that fender eliminator and have looked at it several times on ebay, but never bought. I did do the dremel cutting to my stock fender and have it so it is about the same length as the lower part of the license plate, so the reflector is gone, but no big deal. Good enough for me.
