Default Need ideas: Undertail turn signal & license mounting

I'm looking for some ideas on how to cleanly mount my license plate and turn signals to my F4i undertail when I finally get around to installing it. The undertail is the Artfibras one which uses the stock tail light.[/align][/align]I've leaning towards turn signals rather than doing a Clear Alternative type integrated setup.[/align][/align]If I have to fabicate something I will; I'm just looking for some ideas, suggestions or examples how you did it.[/align][/align]Pictures would be great.[/align][/align]Thanks![/align]

I did only the license plate. Used a couple of MS sheets from the local hardware store, the ones with the regular holes meant for stabilizing wood joints. The mount itself is not visible unless someone sticks his head underneath, so it's easy to make, just bend and screw stuff together, and cheap!

Yeah, the license plate alone would not be that much of an issue. Dealing with the turn signals is a little more challenging.

I'm sure I could come up with something but I want it to look good and sometimes my somewhat jury-rigged solutions don't look all that slick.

I have some sort of undertail no idea, i actually made a license plate bracket out of an old radio bracket thats used in Police cruiers. I should be able to take a pic tomorrow just to give you an idea. My tails have integrated turn signals but after messing around with em for a long time and having them back feed i just said f* it and bought some super bright shock racing turn signals.

There are license plate brackets on ebay with built in turn signals. The other + about them is you can swivel it up and down to hide your plate.

Here is TARGA's versionhttp://www.1tail.com/sa/p/TARGA_LED_...ASSY-AMBER.htm

I think this looks clean.

This is a good and cheap option:

Just get this bracket and mount it anywhere on the tail, then buy any aftermarket turn signals and you'll be set.

just a tip: but if you are buying turn signals, get bright LED ones, the regular small arrow looking ones you can barely see them during the day.

Thanks all.
I think the one that BoRka found is the best one I've seen so far.
Still looking for options, thanks.
