I can't speak for muscle machines but I believe a kit is now sold that allows for the installation of this panel WITHOUT any cutting or modification.

That's what it is, the LED kit from Project Mustang. A bit pricey but I like it since you can revert to the original look easily.

Don't think so, but the kit is from http://www.mustangproject.com/

Wow, I haven't checked them out in a while but there are some nice goodies in there! I especially liked the 17" Shelby style wheels, I had only seen them in 16" before.

Have you actually seen these on a car?

The four original bezel bolts are holding the whole thing on. There is about a 1/8 - 1/4 gap noticable closest to the gas cap. You can also grab it with your hand and move it freely another quarter inch in and out.

Not on my cars

Those came out about 2 weeks ago and all of us CPC dealers can get them. Shop around for the best price.

I saw their new ad and realized that their new brick-and-mortar store is about 2 miles from my house!

I give them a thumbs up, covering the dents is good but covering the purple lemans stipes is even better...LOL!

Ebert, they are chameleon stripes. They actually look gold most of the time but you know, they change colors at different angles. The camera doesn't do them justice.

Yes, they are not perfect, but I 3M double taped some of the backside and they will not be moving anywhere. The gap was there but they use a cheesy house door gasket to perimeter the bezel. I made a nice gasket myself and they look like oem. The rest of the units are good quality.

I think I will leave them on, the best part is they save me money in not having to fix the two rear panel dents that are barely recessed in but still noticeable.

Do you know of any 18" Shelby wheels or 18" Mini-Lite style wheels coming out anytime soon?

I was looking at the light and didnt notice the dent. Looks like a good fix of two problems.

Custom ft springs, swaybars, leafs and shackles, the car was a track car, really well balanced and rides like its on rails but has a very comfortable ride. It also sits very low. I didn't do the mods, I purchased the car that way.
