Default Bumper cover/insert?

Ive been searching for a few hours now and cannot find the proper name for this piece to be able to actually find it. But I'm looking to see who makes a carbon cover to fit between the upper and lower grill for a 13-15 GS. Anyone remember who it is or what the piece is called?

That would be it, but I thought I had seen a smooth one with no holes in it somewhere.

I doubt anyone makes it w/o the holes because it will block the sensors causing them to go off all the time or stop 'em from working. I know LX Mode also makes one similar to Skipper but it also has the cutouts for the sensors: http://www.lx-mode.jp/lineup/2012/06...rt-12model.php

Just get the middle section wrapped professionally, then you can cover the sensors without issue and imo looks way better than those overpriced covers.

I wouldn't mind if it just had the sensor holes cut out butt they are all cut out for license plates as well which is what I'm trying to avoid. The original plan was to get the middle wrap black but it's been 5 months at this point in can't get my wrap guy to do it.
So so I was looking for an alternative way to make the middle black and then I remembered seeing a carbon one, and who doesn't like carbon?

Carbon fiber vinyl wrap is the way to go. Costs $2.50 shipped from aliexpress.
