with the way your car looks?















100% HELL YES.

your car has the black and white 2 tone theme, it would look so freakin badass. when i see the pic of your car, it looks wrong without a blackout panel. you HAVE TO get it [sm=closed.gif][sm=goodidea.gif][sm=signs007.gif][sm=signs007.gif]

I think a smooth, flat black will match your GT/CS side stripes better than the others. Also, I'd get a vinyl or magnetic one, that way you don't permanently have something on a rare GT/CS that you might want to reverse one day.......

Oh, forgot to mention, any blackout panel I would consider has to room for the faux gas cap. And I do want it to be removable in case the GT/CS's actually do become collectable.

Pantera, I love your stance! What did you do to get that?

I would still get the one I linked just because I like the looks. You could always widen the keyhole to accomodate the fake gas cap. Also, the panel I linked is supposed to match the black on the bumpers of the gt500 and the gt/cs.

As or my stance:

rims: 18x10 out back and 18x9 in front
tires: 295/45/18's out back and 255/45/18's in front
stock ride height
