I want to black out my trunk between the lights. What method looks the best? I know of the black vinyl on eBay, the panels from 3dCarbon or GTS or just painting it. I have not seen any pictures or anyone around me with this mod. So if you have seen them, which is the best looking?

I'd take it to a paint shop and paint it. That way you don't have to worry about water, dust, and dirt getting behind the panel.

myxmach1,

Which brand is that? I am assuming the GTS. What do you think of the fit? How thick would you say it is? Have you washed it yet and if so, does it scratch easily?

I like the nice big picture!!!

The picture you have on wall, right above the car's windshield, has tramatized me! You have an awsome camera though

This is the black panel from Xenon. It is about 1/16" and dark smoked. If I was placing it on a lighter colored car I would probably paint the trunk section black to keep any bleed through. I got it from crossroadzdirect.com.

As far as washing it; I know it is plastic so I am careful not to you abrasives on it. I think this should be a Dealer add-on option like the blue-tooth or stripes. It applies in 30 seconds and finishes off the back end. Also, one part fits all S197 Mustangs of all colors. Anyway, I like it.

I bought both the xenon panel, and the vinyl one you can get off of ebay. I liked the vinyl decal better because the fit was almost perfect. The xenon panel didn't fully cover the area around the GT emblem on the rear. I could see red on both sides of it, so I sent it back. Here is a picture of the ebay one.
