Default Best blackout panel?

I bought a cheap magnetic rolled one on ebay and it wasn't that great. Go figure.

I have the magnetic one, I think I got it from americanmuscle.com. It is alright...

I will probably will get the one from Silverhorse Racing (honeycomb style)or just extend my super stripe from front bumper to rear bumper and go without the black out.

Paint Gun. I used to have magnetic but a PIA trying to keep clean.It was more of a magnet for dust and a real pain to clean the back side. Just had that section apinted and no problems since.

I've had the Silver Horse Racing honeycomb one for about a year now, still really happy with it. I've never had that much trouble keeping it clean, just rinse with some filtered water (which is nice anyway 'cause you don't get any water spots anywhere else either) and go for a 10 minute cruise on the freeway. Thus you end with an almost completely dry Mustang and you get to take your shiny clean car out for a spin. What's not to like?

Not really that keen on the honeycomb style. Any others?

3d carbon... it is more expensive though and you have to get it painted. i went with matte black.. it looked awesome (sorry for the glare).

IMO, the best are the vinyl panels. their cheap (about $20-30) and available in a variety of colors and finishes. What I like about them is that they are cheap, look great and if you don't like it, you can take it off and try a different one. Once it is on, it looks like it is painted on.

Once you've had one on for a while and decide you like it, you can have it painted if you'd like.

I have the magnetic panel and it sucks. Should've listened to others who've had it. [:@]
I might go with avinyl decal in silver.

I agree vinyl is the best. Just because you can always change it if you want to.
