Get yourself some shiny black spray paint and tape off the part you want. I've helped a couple friends do this and it dosn't look to bad.
If you're gonna take off your inserts you should ship them to me

get a blow dryer and aim the heat stream on the letters to heat up the glue then peel them off somehow. you can do this with anything adhesive
