Default Embedded license plate frames

At a loss for a better description here. Anybody have any links to where I can find the sheet metal molds for embedding the license plate into the rear fender?

removed the tail lamp, moved the connection block to inside the fender, covered the opening with rubber that has adhesive on the back that i got from lowes. drilled 2 small holes in the bottom of the tag and used the licensed fram from the dealer and 4 flathead 1/4 20 1/2 in screws from the backside and 4 stainless acorn nuts on the plate.
I have sense bought a texas plate frame for $16 on ebay.
