Default How's this rear deck panel from AM?

Hi,

Appreciate your opinions, reviews, of this rear deck panel from AM, for a kona blue GT. Thinking that the panel could break up the color of the car a bit more and match the lower valence. Also thinking of tinting the lights some point down in the future. Would appreciate seeing more pics of this panel on your car, aside from the photos from AM. How's the quality, colour overall, etc?

Thank you in advance.

That is a really great piece to help change up the back of the car. As you said, it breaks up the color back there and creates a nice contrast between painted body panels and the rear valance.

If you are looking for something that is going to fit great and look great on your KonaGT, that is definitely a great choice!

I like it much better than the magnetic pieces and much more than the saleen/cdc pieces because it keeps the GT logo.

Chris, Amb,

Thanks! I've ordered today and status is it's shipped! Now...if only the car would arrive... :-(

I also like this panel as it doesn't remove the GT piece, and piece looks somewhat substantial.
