looks great, but desecrate the plate! i cut more off the license plate holder and drilled a little hole for the key, works perfectly. Doesn't look as good as as the aftermarket undertail & plate holder, but not bad. I like the integrated tail light and the headlight. A bar-end mirror maybe? Pipes are awesome.

pretty easy, hardest part was figuring out just where to drill the hole. i almost did it facing straight down on the plastic undertail/tool box but figured more dirt and grime would hit it sitting directly above the tire.

flip up plate would be cool.
