Rear signal trim

[land_shark]

Being a cheap-a$$, I'm thinking about shortening my rear signals so they fit a little tighter to the fender (as opposed to shelling out a whole $26, or whatever the flush mount afty-markets cost).  The reason: I have Cortech sport bags that tend to sit on, or at least rub against the signals.
