Default Honeycomb Trim Panel vs. Flat Black Vinyl

Well, as of right now I have the oh-so-expensive honeycomb trim panel with the GT logo. I am really considering removing the honeycomb and replacing it with one of the cheaper flat black vinyls. Since my car is technically not a GT, I would be putting the ROUSH diecast letters back on in place of the GT emblem. Should I just keep the honeycomb, or should I go through with my plan with the flat black, and just sell the honeycomb panel?

I would also be putting blackout tint on the taillights, side markers, and third brake light...

Any comments are appreciated...

The flat black would look better with the flat black insert on the bumper. I'm not a fan of the honeycomb, either.

I like the honeycomb too, but I also like the other vinyls (flat or gloss), and by going to the vinyl, I could put the ROUSH emblems back on. I don't know, so many options...

That's what I was thinking, the flat black vinyl would go good with the bumper insert at the bottom of the rear, plus the front bumper and hood has flat black parts

It looks better with the Honeycomb.

PS - If you look up the VIN it will come back as a GT

Yeah, I understand that it comes back as a GT, but imo saleens and roushes are not GT's. There is no other indication of it on the car other than the one on the trunk, that's why I want to change it.

Yes the emblem would come with the panel... the panel is like 190+ new and the emblem was 10 i believe, it's in great condition, he would just have to put new 3M doublesided tape on it...$75?
