3rd Brake Delete - Suggested Solution for the holes.

I know alot of you guys that did a 3rd brake light delete to move the brake light. But when you do this, you're left with this.



Ugly as hell. And i know some of you guys used felt and stuff or actually re covered the entire board. My suggested solution is a 3D printed plastic piece that fits right into those open holes. The plastic will mimic the Side Plastic pieces to give it that OEM look. Would look like this after some photoshop.



And here's some ugly photoshop from the bottom up view!



Anyone with a 3D printer willing to make this?!

Really interested in this. How hard was removal of the light? What about legal issues?

Printed parts are extremely unnecessary for something like this. Just cut out pieces of felt. and blend it. If you want the plastic look, cut out some 1/16 - 1/8 hobby grade wood and paint it. You can do it in a night.
