MMD Pre Painted Decklid Panel

[ghst]

Does the panel come with clips, or do you have to transfer existing ones from the factory panel over?

my panel just arrived, it's raining here pretty bad, so the install will have to wait until tomorrow, but I unpacked it and inspected it, it looks amazing!! I got the UA black, I'll see how it looks tomorrow.

just read over the instructions, clips transfer over from the oem piece

Sweet! I look forward to seeing how the paint patches to the bezels of the tail lights!

just install one painted guard. Color match is good but haven't had a chance to see under all light conditions.

Just installed Shadow Black looks great fits great (don't be a dumbass like me and install your backup camera upside down tho).

installed mine this morning, fitment was ok, couldnt get it tight without showing dimples, that bugged me but not enough to make it a deal killer, I was admiring it, then noticed a blemish only noticeable from different angles in sunlight, I just couldnt ignore it. I contacted AM and as usual they were great and setup a return, heres where I wasnt happy, I asked if they could send the new one, and Id return this one as soon as I got the replacement, he stated that wasnt their policy, which I understand, but now youre asking me to remove the bad one, reinstall the oem piece, once the replacement arrives, remove the oem and reinstall the replacement.........no thanks! to much of a chance on scratching the car, and/or breaking plastic mounting tabs, so Im just returning it for a refund.

Out of curiosity, did you ask if they would charge for and ship a replacement and then let you return the original for a refund? I know some wouldn't want to do that.

I didn't even inquire, I'd imagine, yes, I could have paid for another, then sent this one back, I guess I didn't like the look that much to deal with installing another with not so great fitment and risk another blemish.......

That's disappointing ):

Still really having a hard time deciding if I want to pull the trigger or just get a black GT emblem.

I would do it! mine was phenomenal looking except for the blemish, the dimple thing could be avoided, just have to go really light when tightening the four screws........

I have a history of getting bunk parts from manufacturers. I even had to get a replacement set of roush heat extractors mailed to me because the first set fit like shit :\

But yeah, maybe I'll give it a shot anyway. Knowing my luck I'll break the clips on the stock piece :doh:

Have seen the Guard painted panel under all light now. Color match is good, changes color same as the rest of the car. Install was a bit of a pain trying to line up the pegs to the holes for the screws. Like the way the color matching panel changes the look.

Got any pics of it in guard? It'd be nice to see it.
