You know the gray plastic on both sides of the rear license plate. Its been driving me nuts since day one . You can stick a carbon fiber piece in its place , or that rtr thing with the mesh but is that really any better ? I went and did this , what do ya think?

Now--feel like trading for a GT trunk complete with wing?

I want to delete my wing SO BAD.

PM me if so....

Well now that is making more sense! I guess I don't really pay attention to the newer bodies details too much.

Good work! looks good

It looks good. What materials did the body shop use to fill in the voids of the license plate surround? I like you have never been a fan of that surround and there hasn't been an aftermarket one made that I like either.

There were parts of the car that you could only see with a light in low light , but the factory primer could be seen through the thin paint. The depth of the black was not doing it for me .

They filled it with fiberglass and that material you see. I pick it up tomorrow so I will have some better pictures.

I removed the foam or whatever material that is on the underside of the hood. It wasn't even painted . Just that brown primer. They are saving nickels when they do things like this , but I guess those nickels add up.
