Default UPDATE: No/Yes to Blackout Panel

Here is my car now...



With the upcoming addition of the GT500 spoiler I ordered, I may need to re-stripe the rear all the way down to the bumper.

Should I keep the blackout panel? With it, it may look too busy!
What do you guys/gals think?
Please comment.






UPDATE:

Again, thanks guys/gals for all your time and suggestions. I decided to keep the blackout panel and trimmed the stripes on the rear part of the decklid. I think it gives the car a much cleaner look.
NOW, I'm officially a member of the GT500 Spoiler Club!

Not the best picture. But when I installed my spoiler, and striped it, I liked the look with the blackout panel on.

In my opinion, it looks great the way it is. I think that if you do the stripes down to the bumper, it might look best without the panel. I think that you might want to consider leaving your new spoiler a solid color, red like it is, or maybe black. I had a striped spoiler and hated it.

i personally have never been a fan of the blackout panels... id much rather have the stripes come all the way down the back of the trunk lid

If you're striping it down to the bumper, go without the panel IMO.
