I have the same problem. I found one on Ebay with a blem yesterday for $80 but I'm broke after all the Cyber Monday deals.

Vinyl panel, was $20.00 from Rocky Mountain Graphics when I did mine, might be 29.00 now. Cheap, durable & if you don't like it, you're not out much. Mine was on my 06 for over 3 yrs, & was my 2nd vinyl panel, tried a gloss black first.

I know you said you could always use Plasti-Dip on the one from AM, why not just outline what you want blackened out and use Plasti-Dip directly on the paint? From what I have seen on here, members have painted their rims and so far it has lasted 3-4 months without a problem. That way, if you grow tired of it, you can always peel it off. Seems to me to be the less expensive way to go.

I have the SHR honeycomb and like that it compliments the stock honeycomb on the front. The g/f has the magnetic flat black and is very happy with it; inexpensive, easy to remove to clean and looks very nice on her Legend Lime.

Have to agree with Nuke SHR is the best. Here's a pic of Cutter's ride.

I like the matte black look also.

@ Aircare, where did you get that trim for your brakelights?

They are/were the AVS ,same as the link above. Got mine from Moss Mustang years ago, but they have discontinued them. Price has increased, paid $49 for mine.
They come in a high gloss finish, I had sanded mine & painted satin black.
