Default best rear decklid panel

Just wondering if anyone here has a rear blackout panel on their car and which one people like the best.

Lotsa options out there man: CDC, SHR, Magnet, Gloss Vinyl.. You'll find them if you do searches. Some remove the trunk badge, some don't.

I had magnetic for a long time, and just recently went SHR.. no pics of the new one yet, and the best rear shot I got is from '08..



Ultimately it's up you which on you like best--some don't like it at all.

from what i've read. most people either go with one of the 3 following.

The CDC Panel

The Silverhorse Honey Comb Panel

The Carbon Fiber panel

there are other alternatives both from different name brand vendors and "cheaper" less renown vendors. however, learn from my mistakes, dont always go with a "cheaper" alternative. there's nothing comparable to the real things!

Good Luck!

SHR honeycomb. It matches the stock honeycomb up front.

mentioned in the list in my first post, of the 3, my preference would be the SHR Honeycomb panel which Nuke has on his. Most "flowing" in my opinion and fits the most flush i believe.

CDC

the honeycomb is a real biatch to keep clean.

This is true. But I bought a microfiber thingy that looks like a bottle brush and it gets into the tight spaces. Then you just need a little patience drying it, getting into all those little spaces. But it's not that bad once you get used to it.

I like the matte look of a magnetic panel. It's simple yet changes the car a lot. The only problem is that magnets suck. They will shrink, bubble and essentially just breakdown. I've had mine for about 6 months and it is shrinking...

Has a matte black vinyl option. I had an issue installing mine, and hope to try again soon. The issue was my fault. I received excellent customer service.

The stack racing panel is beautiful, I'd post pics of mine, but all I have is an iphone camera which doesn't do it justice. It is a very sleek look that flows with the lines of the car perfectly, plus, its easy to maintain. If you like the horizontal lines of the CDC, but want to keep the emblem, its the piece for you
