I left the metal extender and removed the big piece of plastic. Used the metal bracket that the plate is attached to and bolted that to metal extender piece. As well I bolted the signals to that same metal bracket. I think it turned out awesome. And no cost to me other than my time. I really like the angel of it. I found a lot of the aftermarket ones to be angeled down too much. I am using the stock signals but I think that I will try to source some smaller ones. I did not reinstall the plate light so we will see how that goes at safety inspection time.
