I feel the same way...i don't really like the hollow look too. I will probably do the same thing as you with the cut out but then i already got the emblem install i will probably need to 3m it to the back.I hope it can hold up to the wind pressure when i drive on the high way.

So I decided to go with rsr half downs already ordered them so the wheels and the springs will go on at the same time
I dident want to really lower the car at all but these will give it just slightly enough so I don't have to worry about anything after coming from a car that was on bags and still super low I don't want to deal with the low life lol.

Well wheels are another 4 weeks out :/ not really happy been waiting 3 'months now but the company said since they make them overseas it takes longer so springs will be on hold cause I don't want to align the car twice.
