Anyone have a red GT with the taillight bezels painted black, as well as, the center section of the trunk lid around the license plate? Could you post a pic of it please? I've seen plenty with just the bezels but I haven't seen any with the center section painted, too. I'm thinking about doing mine that way for a while since they are so freakin' faded. It's going to be a while until the whole car gets repainted.

That doesn't look too bad even on a dark green car though it's a little hard to notice.

I had mine photoshopped over in the VirtualBodyShop. It's done in flat black though I'd rather have it in Gloss.
What do ya'll think??

i think flat black looks better than glossy black, and i think it'd look even better with a flat black wing.

Here is a pic of my brothers car from the back. He has had his painted for a long time and they are done in I believe semi gloss black and look really good on the red paint. Also you can see what the black widow wing looks like for those that were wondering before.

It is the blackwidow kit as the other post said and it is fiberglass. Not sure about the cheap versions but the ground designs kit was very top quality when he got it and he just sanded, primed and painted. He only bought the front and they gave him the rest to use his car on their website for a 94-98 example.

We are actually from Canton which is about 10min west of Asheville. As far as I know the closest his car has been to Durham is when he goes to Greensboro to visit his girlfriend at UNCG.

I would love to see this idea on a white car, or someone could photoshop it on mine. Also, did you guys get this professionally painted or just rattle can it?
