Hey Mitch, I too have just installed the NoMar fender eliminator, and no the OEM turn signals DO NOT fit. I went with a integrated license plate holder(LED lighting, turn signals, brakes) with the LED license bolts for plate illumination.

See that Mark...we went through all that crap to get our LED assembly sitting up on that pedestal and angled down, when we could have just used the double sided tape that came with the kit and used the darkness of night to reflect the LED light back onto the license plate...

BTW...the two piece license plate assembly indicated in the original post of this thread, is called a "Tidy Tail"...I think that name is Exactrep's...

Darren,
I am not kidding...it came with NORMAL (non-industrial) strength double sided tape to put the LED on the Tidy Tail plate...so I used a strip of hard rubber with some SS bolts, washers and nuts that I had purchased for some Model Airplanes and modified the kit...didn't do a "up to Mark's Standard" job on the 2009 but did a "beyond the hopes of Mark" job on my 2010 and Mark did a "copy cat" job on the 2009...for which he still hasn't posted those pics...MARK!!!...
