Probably easier to do the Lexan, than cut and repaint the metal one. Plus, it is not just getting rid of the wrap around edges, and reflectors, that made such a big difference to me. The stock bracket hides a lot of the chrome fender because it rides so down low below the taillight, and is very vertical. In other words, when viewed from the side, it is almost straight up and down, and the gap is far from the fender. This mounting tucks up tight under the taillight, and rolls forward and aligns with the angle of the fender, about 1/2 inch off its surface.

Just whatever turns your crank, but I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Plus, as stated above, an unmolested stock bracket, wrapped and stored in pristine condition, is going to be valuable someday! Big Grin
