The original license plate frame is one complete piece that also is part of the ugly mud flap. The flap hangs down a good foot from the license plate. What adds to the overall unattractiveness is the fact that there is a lone reflector at the very bottom. I have looked at the local cycle store and they perused through their catalogs but were unable to find anything and said that most people are probably just hacking them off. I don't want to take something like that into my own hands for fear of messing it up. Any help that you can give me would be great, thank you!
