Ok, I'm going to be cutting the damn thing up this weekend and I was wondering what to do with the wires that are used to light up the tag? Are you guys cutting them and capping them off so there's no short? I plan on notching the grater so light will hit the tag, so I won't need the wires.

Just pull them out of the connector. Ive been running mine for a year and no problems, not even corrosion.

Cut and cap. I mounted the plate to the plastic under the tail pan and reused the stock light. Looks neat and factory-ish.

No I don't get hassled at all about the plate. From the back it's actually perfectly legible. I spaced the bottom of the plate away from the undertail so it could have a little more angle and be more readable from the back.
