Silver Plate Tray

So I have xbox arcade and I would like for it to look like my old xbox pro, you know for sentimental reasons, and also because my friend won't stop heckling me that the arcade breaks more (don't ask), so basically where I'm at is that I can take off the long silver piece on the disc tray, but not the little one on the actual eject button. Does anyone know how I could switch that out? Or would he even notice If I only had the long metal piece switched out. He will probably be inspecting it for flaws, he's sort of a douche.
