The panel will look good, but I still vote for the paint job on the panel. It would match your gloss black accents better than the plastic and give you a change to achieve a more custom look...car show guys luv that stuff.
Gloss black really pops with your color, but the matte black the plastic produces does little. Just my 02 bro.

Yeah I think the panel will look "cleaner" and less flashy than that shiny emblem.
I plan to plasti-dip my front and rear emblems, probably leave the "GT" on the side the way it is, I like those. And "4.6" isnt nearly as catchy as "5.0"

Your stang looks magnificent, very cleanly modified, but why did you decide to go with the 4.0 rather than 4.6? Be different?

Oh don't worry...we are going to do something totally custom. I would feel lazy just putting on a plastic piece like that. That is why all the plastic pieces on the car are painted body color...probably going to go with the same black that the rims are or go with an airbrushed picture of the car. Who knows, so many possibilities.

Thanks for the comments on the car..as for why we didn't get a GT wasn't to be different. The V6 of this year has enough horsepower for me...trust me we got some other toys here with same or more power as the new 5.0..

We didn't get a GT because we opted for the glass roof, rear view camera, and navigation. No need to pay the extra money for the GT when you got a 2006 corvette with more horsepower than the 5.0 to drive if I wanted. Im perfectly happy with the V6. We get ragged on all day because we have a "V6" from the GT owners who are stuck up d!cks. There is always something better out there. Let me know if you want some pictures of the other rides.
