Are 2014-2015 Colored Name Plates Modifiable?

Are the new colored name plates for the 2014-2015 competition modifiable? I noticed that these plates are just barely too big to fit inside the 5-hole wide C-Channel and with some cutting and filing they can fit. Is this allowed? Thanks.

not really the right subforum, i would ask in https://vexforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8
i would assume you are allowed to modify them because it doesnt violate R15 or R19
