Hey guys got the magnetic decklid panel and hood strips from AM. Sorry about the cell phone picks.

I think it goes well with the tinted tails. Next I'm going to plastidip the wheels and emblems (what do you think) and get the smoked projector headlights

How do you like the magnetic decklid panel? You should show some other angles to show more of the fit. and definitely plasti dip your emblems! And for the headlights, go HID retrofit, don't get the raxioms or anything because the light output is horrible apparently.

Looks real nice. My son-in-law just did his wheels and emblems on his truck.
They came out awesome ! I think he bought it at Home Depot.
He said the trick was light thin coats. Good luck!

hood stripes look good, I lika the spears.. But that magnetic decklid looks like it needs to be flattened out more, seems like I see some obvious gaps along the top edge there. (or maybe just the camera pixelating the edge there?)

If you're going to plasti-dip some things, you might consider pulling that magnetic lid off, and dipping it instead. There are a couple of good examples by some folks online here, looks cleaner and isn't going to warp with time, sun, and car washes as the magnetic ones seem to do (Some folks even report the darn things 'shrink').

dipped emblems can look good, and dipped faux caps arent bad, especially if you're looking to black the rear out completely or remove all the 'chrome' from the car (pony in rear, and front?)

Just depends on how much you are trying to 'Murder' it (I think that's the current trendy name)

I think that's just the camera I tried to flatten the panel as good as I could. The fit of the panel itself isn't perfect I few fitment issues around the edges but very very minor. And I plan on plasti dipping the pony and faux gas gap
