RE: Anyone Have This?
2smokinbarrells,
You are quite welcome. One caution I would give you. Be aware that this panel is not totally "blacked out", but rather "dark smoked" out.....Now, going against the Mineral Grey, it pretty well hides everything, but even in a certain light, I can see the velcro strips under the panel. (look real close on my last photo, left side) I am going to put some sort of backing on the panel to prevent this. Just thought you should realize this, since you are talking about putting on your white pony. It would probably show through more on yours, so you may want to plan on some sort of backing as well.
Best of Luck,
Mike

Bl1nkage,
Plus one on the gloss finish, but I never could find one that was completely blacked out. Like I said above, I'm just gonna put some sort of backing on it. Shouldn't be that big a deal.....You are correct that most of the flat blacks are true blackout. Could get one and have it glossed over, I suppose. Anyway, cheap mod, cheap mod to the mod.....
Thanks,
Mike

RE: Anyone Have This?
I went with the honeycomb panel and the 3M body tape. Its on there for good. The look of the panel completes the lineage between this new GT and my 1970 Mach 1. Thw panel looks terrfic. I have bought the stainless tail light trims but have not decided if i want them on or not.
