Well it looks like you're leaning towards the Xenon, but I wanted to answer grasshopper's question and +1 pcdrj's comments. You should remove the magnetic one often to clean behind it.

On mine, I ripped it when it was relatively new, so no sun damage or over exposure to any elements...it was just me. I peeled it off from the sides and got over-eager when doing the badge area--it caught on the badge and must have hit it at the right angle, because it just tore like the crusty asphalt mats they used to use for sound deadening. Funny thing is that since then I haven't had a problem getting it on and off. Just be real gentle when you do the badge area.

Best,

Why not have it painted? Or are you looking for the removability?

Hey

I have an '05 GT and I used the Xenon panel, SVT Black tail ligh ttrim and the sequential turn signals. I thought the Xenon fit well and just took a little work to get it even around the GT Emblem. I like the way it shines up. I also have the black rear aluminum louvers so it allkind of fits together. Maybe I'm just old but the honeycomb and matt panels look too much like plastic for me.

Just one guys opinion, gotta go with makes YO feel good about the look and feel.

Thanks again guys,

JKStang,
Yep, looking for the removability factor right now...

SilverPoison,
Yours looks awesome, and I believe I had commented on that in another thread. If I go with paint eventually, I will definately look up your guy....I love the high gloss finish, as I think it looks great with the rear window tint...

cwall583,
Any Pics?? Sounds nice.....What color is your Mustang?

Thanks,
Mike

you can just buy a vinyl for like 10 bucks that sticks on the back and looks exactly like the xenon plate on ebay.
