I attempted a quick photoshop to match and it looked alright. It looked better as a darker offset color.

I couldn't get it off without cutting it since I didn't have the proper tools. But I didn't see a need in keeping it anyways. Cutting the two holes out for the surround wasnt difficult either

I cant stand the license recess on my 2013 . WTF was ford thinking ? Almost a deal breaker when I purchased the car. The RTR inserts are different and IMHO anythings better than stock rear license recess . I found these online at a company called TruCarbon.

American muscle just got this along with a lot of other cf parts, they seem unusually expensive though. And I'm not sure if they would look that great.
