The factory plate frame is just black so it will work with any color.

How about this approach? Clear license plate cover, painted body cover (inside of the cover) and installed!

you stole my idea... j/k... I have a clear cover sitting around and this is exactly what I was going to do. However, I just cannot force myself to part with the solid filler. This looks awesome though Thanks for letting me see what mine could look like.
