Fender eliminator kit or a full undertail. The following is a pic of my Hotbodies.com undertail on my 02 F4i. One of the more popular choices but scope out eBay for some good prices.

if you wanna go the el cheapo route. just get a hacksaw and 2 sell tapping sheetmetal screws. also ditch the grabbar if you don't use or likeit and i removed the rear cowl stickers as well

Would you post more pics to show the "kit" and how one might install the same mod? This looks like the eliminator I've been lookin for. (cheap!)

no kit. free mod. i just used a hacksaw to clear away all the pastic mud flap i could. then used a file to clean up the edges. took a punch and put 2 small holes in my plate and a slightly larger one for the key. then i just took 2 self tapping sheetmetal screws, put a little blue loctite on em, and mounted the plate as high as possible. it almost touches the tailight. the screws are just threaded into the plastic under the tailight.

takes about 30 minutes to make it purty. about all you can do to the banana seat cowl to make it look racier. now i just need to get rid of the 747 airplane turn signals.[8D]
