I like it! Never cared for the fake gas cap. I did the same thing, but I used a carbon-fiber decklid and then put the running-pony from the grille on the back. looks one-of-a-kind. (pics of it on my 2013 Gt in garage album)

Pic is kinda small to really see.

It looks like you went with the RTR product.

It does have their logo on the bottom right - correct?

How do you like it?

I do want to do the mod but wish I could get a decent product without advertising . . . I suppose I could paint.

I have a better picture in my garage, Go there if you want to see it. Yes it does have and RTR sticker in the lower right corner, its just a sticker and can be pulled off with. When I first got it, it looked well lets just say not sure if I liked it, The longer its on the more I like it. At this piont I'm really glad I put this on. I do hate that faux gas cap just looks cheezy in my opinion. Still a dust collector though. Hope this helps

Trucarbon.net has a full decklid blackout panel in carbon fiber for those who like this kind of a clean look without logos or decals. It's what I used. There's a close up pic in my garage where you can see the carbon-fiber weave.
But the panel Chazman is showing above is great too and the RTR logo is just vinyl which can be removed.

I had the Carbon panel fifthwind was talking about, had it on for a few months and removed it, i dont know if it was installer error( Me) or the panel itself but it just didn't look like it fit right to me. Ive since reinstalled the factory panel and plastidipped the gas cap portion. I have been thinking about the RTR panel but im just iffy about permanently modifying the trunk lid to install it. did you install it yourself?
