Default Side Mount License Plate

I'm looking to side-mount my license plate, but all the kits are $120 or more plus shipping. I'd make my own but I don't know how.

Are there any cheaper kits available?

Looks good. But I think legally in Ontario I require a light pointed at the license plate? Theirs all look bulky and weird.

Sorry for not mentioning that in my original post.

i have a similar side plate to the road 6 customs one i "modified" from a tv wall mount bracket.

here in the uk we also have to have a light to illuminate the plate so i got something like this off ebay

works well enough, small so its not noticeable either.

$3 worth of aluminum diamond plate, a cateye taillight, and some drilling for mounting

theres a tab at 90degrees to the plate itself that is drilled so that it is bolted on to the fender strut with the same bolt as the fender

Yup that's it. Don't have a computer or I'd have posted a pic.
