Default Help me waste money: Steeda rear badge or rear blackout?

Yeah...

A whopping $130ish for a Steeda rear badge http://www.steeda.com/products/rear_badge.php

Or an insane $165 for the CDC rear blackout http://www.steeda.com/products/cdc_r...d_blackout.php

The CDC was my first choice, but Im not sure the material/finish of the blackout panel will match my glossy stripes (which end right past the 3rd brakelight, do not come all the way down)

Anyways, everything is so overpriced. Yet I give in. What do you think?

Why not have a badge customized for that price? Im sure you could get Brenspeed or someone who makes custom badges to slide something else in there.

Everything IS so over priced... I would say the cdc blackout, even though it is crazy paying $165 for a piece of plastic. haha.

You know for 165 thats not a bad price if you really look at it. It covers 40% of the rear end of the car. I want the cdc one too, its a nice looking piece.

You could have that section painted for that price... And the badge is a worthless rip off.

I personally never liked the ribbed CDC blackout panel, because it was ribbed lol. If you are looking for a panel that deletes the fake gas cap, the ribbed CDC tailpanel is no longer your only choice. Street Scene makes a good quality blackout panel now to. It only costs $114.99 at v6mustangstuff.

I want to replace my GT badge with the pony/tribar one off of a V6. It's missing something without it on the car. Too much GT emblems and not enough Mustang. I certainly wouldn't pay $130 for a Steeda one. Steeda overcharges for everything. That is just their red badge of buttf**king imo.

get a magnetic blackout panel. costs 40 bucks, can't tell at all that its not glued to your car, and you can take it off/put it back on anytime you want.
