Im not quite sure how I like it yet, I have mixed feelings about it, I was gonna wait til my black Cardinals license plate I have on order gets here but I figure I would throw it up now. Im hoping with the license plate on it will look better, also maybe blacked out tails with the reverse light cutout might look better too? Just wanted to throw it up and get some honest opinions.

UPDATED PIC WITH NEW LICENSE PLATE

If it were flat black I would love it but it still looks good.

I feel that i like the stock over the black out. But that just my opinion

I could live with it as it goes with your inserts, but I like the factory look better.

Yeah I mean its not terrible, I just think something is missing is all, I figured it would go well with my black bumper inserts and the already black-ish lower valence. I think with the all black license plater will make it flow better, i will post pics when I get it (MVD said 4-6 weeks :kaboom:)

Im thinkin that, along with these blacked out tail lights will look bitchin on there though:

That tail light pic looks familiar. Did you have it done by that guy on the forums here ? I forgot his username.

is it the whole lid, or just the area between the tails. I did flat black between the tails on the Bullitt when I had it and I loved it.

I like it. I think satin or flat would look better, but the gloss will be much easier to maintain and no worries about wax screwing it up. I say leave it.

Me, too. If it were flat or matte black it would look more factory. But it certainly looks okay, though, either way. Especially with the black lower bumper valance and bumper inserts.
