Hey Mellow... I hadn't seen it in awhile, but your car is looking SICK! I hope to see it in person sometime.

i went with a vinyl one from rockymountaingraphics.com soo much better!!!

Actually..i had the same one on my white S197. I painted the backside of the panel with flat black and also used a magic marker around the edge of the faux gas cap..couldnt see any white shining through or around the edges. looked amazing! ended up taking it off eventualy(always changing things up) and the marker came off easily with a claybar and a light compound.

How come us black guys never get to enjoy any of these light skinned games?

I agree that the vinyl looks so much better than the black out panels.

ended up ordering the matte black one from rocky mountain graphics for 19.94 shipped....

ive installed the vinyl blackouts before so since ive got some experience it wont be such a "kick in the *****" this time around :-)
