Nicely tidies up the rear license/fender area! Bonus that you can use the stock OEM turn signals and the kit includes a new LED rear tail light! The kit has instructions, but they are really not very good! You have to figure out yourself about attaching wires and assembling the components. In one instance the instructions tell you to cut the wires for the turn signals/tail lights, but leave 6" of the wiring. I looked at the OEM wiring and determined that no cutting was necessary. After plugging in the OEM wiring, one just needs to tidy things up by wrapping the wires with some tie wraps. You also need to cut the OEM stock under fender panel. This is easily done if you have a Dremel Tool and cutting disc. If you don't then it would be a difficult thing to do to make the cuts nice and clean. There is where the one good thing about the instructions. The instructions have a clear template of where to cut the under fender liner. Because this was installed on a BMW G310R, there are some things that are not inherent in disassembling the OEM BMW components. If you do not have a BMW Technical Manual, and you are not familiar with the G310R body work/under fender component disassembly, and you are not mechanically minded, this will be a very frustrating experience! BMW has a habit of using a million different fasteners and they are not readily accessible to the naked eye. The instructions should have included a page on "how" to disassemble the OEM parts, rather than just saying remove the parts! If you are not mechanically minded, you might be better off having a mechanic install it or buying another fender eliminator kit from a different company. Overall the fit and finish is excellent! Out of all the Fender Eliminator kits I looked at, the Yoshimura one was the cleanest and aesthetically pleasing! I am a motorcycle mechanic so the install was easier for me than someone without my knowledge. I would recommend the kit even though there is a fair amount of difficulty in installing it.Read full review

The end result is very nice however there are a few problems. #1 you have to cut up some stock pieces so there is no option of going back to stock if it was ever required/wanted. #2 the licence plate frame is actually functional as part of the kit, problem being the licence plates aren't all the same size and in my case the frame isn't usable. This means there is no support for the turn signal brackets. You will need to fabricate a lower support piece for the turn signal brackets. For the price of this kit I would think new pieces (not modifying OEM ones) and provisions for a different size licence plates would've been considered.
