I had the magnetic, but got tired of taking it off to clean behind it all the time. Its painted now.
Was a freebee from my body shop, they were fixing the rear bumper from a hit n run. [:@]

I know its going to get asked........
Car was parked, I was not it in, or else I would have chased the ****!




Do you have some kind of lens cover on your tails? The black outline looks thicker than mine. I like yours!

Margarita Girl - love that pic!

I just bought this magnetic panel on Ebay. Just waiting to receive it. I'll let you know of the quality and post pics. The seller has a 100% positive rating so chances are the product is good.

$21.99 isn't a bad deal. But can't it be stolen right off your car?
I like the Silverhorse Racing honeycomb panel, as it matches the front, stock grill.

It's true that the magnetic ones make them easier to steal but even the adhesive stick on ones can be stolen if a thief really wants them. The way I look at it, is if a thief really wants the blackout panel then I'd rather have him just take it off without damaging the carrather than pry and pull the adhesive ones and damage my paint in the process.
Besides, $21.99 is cheap enough to buy a few for spares.

Why don't you use a vinyl decal? You won't get dirt behind it like the magnetic ones. It is a lot cheaper than the plastic or even painting. No one will try to steal it because they won't be able to reuse it.

Those are the slotted tail light bezels made by AVS. I'm partial to them to.

i bought the CDC blackout panel... you have to get it painted...

in any event, i just had it painted matte black and it looks amazing. it is slighty raised and sits very nice between the two taillights...i will post pics once i get it on. it is ranining here so i want to wait until i attach it with the 3m tape... This is a much more expensive option because the panel is $130+ and you still have to pay for paint.

here is a pic of it on the H&R car:
