Default Decklid Panel

Hey all. I am having a problem with my vinyl stripes wanting to stick on the slight curve on the decklid panel. the edge of the stripe (about a half in long) on the left and right side of the vinyl, it keeps becoming unsticky and pulling up. this has already happened once and the vinyl guy here in town redid that piece. now its less than a year later and its happening again. Everywhere else the stripe is sticking fine. i guess there is a bunch of tension on the vinyl on that curve. idk.
so my options are:
restripe that decklid panel again
get a decklid panel from AM (specify which)
plasti dip that area
cover that entire spot with black vinyl

opinons please

Mine started to come loose as well. I simply painted mine on. Black diamond paint.

I had the same problem. Not just once either. I finally got creative and went with a panel cover. I like the SHR Honeycomb panel look. I used it, after numerous other ideas, and it came out the best. JMO. of course. lol

@zgrand thanks

I am thinking about going the panel route. still not sure. they have the magnetic one but from the pics, it doesnt look like is covers the entire area and people say itll dry out and crack. theres the honeycomb one, the one with horizontal lines, and the carbon fiber one.
