^Funny!

Try cleaning it with a lot of pressure and your favorite car wax.

If the silver part is not painted a little solvent on a Q-tip rubbed on the high spots will leave the red letters below.
Use the side of the Q-tip. Like you would use the side of a pencil to reveal the indented marks in a pad of paper. CSI style.

I'd start with mineral spirits and work up to more aggressive solvents. Lacquer thinner, acetone, etc...

Carbon fiber effect on the surround = aftermarket
Sorry, this is incorrect. Carbon fiber trim was an option.
