Honeycomb Rear Panel

[96ninjaman]

I want to order a rear panel today and I have a question about the quality of the KarKraft product. It's on sale now for $55 cheaper than the ones offered by CDC and MustangTuning. CDC and MustangTuning use what seems to be the exact same picture, but KarKraft has a low quality picture without the kit installed. My question is should I be concerned about the quality and/or appearence of the KarKraft panels just because they are much less expensive? Anybody had or seen both? Thanks.

I believe they are all selling the same part. The honeycomb panels are from the Mustang 35th anniversary package.

Where did you find them for $55 cheaper? I've been looking for a set but only found them in the~$160...which IMO is waaaay too much.

Thanks rjstaaf. I will be placing my order today.

They are on this website for $130. http://www.karkraft.com/99-04_mustang.htm

Check your local Ford dealer before you pay that. I believe they are obsolete so they may be hard to find but, maybe the parts guy can do a search and find one. I paid less than that when I got mine from the dealer.

I think that because Ford isn't making the part anymore some of these aftermarket places are getting away with highway robbery.

wow they are selling cobra spoilers for $250? Good thing my car is white and they only offer white! I think I'll be picking one of these up soon. ;-)

On that note, anyone in NJ wanna swap their V6 deck for a GT deck w/spoiler? White only of course.

 

[96ninjaman]

I was thinking about that Cobra spoiler also, but didn't want to deal with the plugged holes on my deck. That's a good idea to trade with someone who has a V-6.

I'll check the Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealerships near me to see if they can get them. Thanks.

the center panel was discontinued 8/04 and the right one 4/05 so the left one is prob on its way out the door two. we do have access to all of them but except to pay @$150.00 or more for the set of 3
part #'s are XR3Z-6345558-AAA center, XR3Z-6345558-BAA right & XR3Z-6345558-CAA left

$ 150 for some plastic

$ 150 for some plastic

Performance Parts Inc has them for $99.

So, $99 for some plastic.

I am taking mine off this weekend. You can have it for 65.00 bucks. It came from CDC.

 

[96ninjaman]

The dealership wanted $210.00 for them.

Foncarelli, I've never seen the panels up close but I wonder how they would re-stick to my car. I would think if I applied double-sided tape they would not be flush and thereby let water in.

Could you get them to NC in 3-4 days?

 

[rjstaaf]

Here are a couple of rear-view shots of my GT with the honeycomb panels. They are not perfectly flush and water does get behind them but, it is not a big deal. There are a few more shots of the honeycomb panels in my Webshots gallery at the link in my signature.

 

[96ninjaman]

Thanks. Beautiful ride

Keep in mind when you buy them that you have to reuse the GT from your car. I had to buy another one because to get it off you remove some of te double sided tape. So have some on hand or buy a new GT symbol like I had to.

 

[96ninjaman]

One old thread said to use dental floss to get them off. I have tape handy anyway.

 

[foncarelli]

Yop. Got the exact same ones except i listed them on Ebay this morning.

 

[foncarelli]

I had to take them off because i put my Saleen bumper on. I dont want a lot of mismatch parts.
