I am yes. Got it from American Muscle this time.

Just yank the GT emblem off and try it out. I ran that for a few weeks before I was originally ready to purchase the FRPP version with the lines until I saw that Accelatec made a version without lines. Plus only paid $105 for Black Friday so win/win for me.I watched the video as well and did everything they said. I don't think hammering down the pins would help mine.
Also, after starting at my car from behind way longer than I probably should, (before I removed the stock panel) I think the horizontal lines give the S550 a slimmer look. And, as everyone knows, it REALLY needs it.
I think I might like the blank gap between the lines a lot of people complain about. It actually points out there might be something missing...in the true spirit of the original Bullitt.
Either way, I'll be able to see my car in all 3 confirgurarions in person and then decide. Pictures are nothing compared to real life.
That’s the problem really. Ford stopped making the version without lines on it which opened the door for Accelatec to make a version without lines.I think the 2015-2017 ford performance option was just a flat panel without the lines if I’m not mistaken. Are they not making that anymore?
Oh ok. I’ve seen them on eBay from time to time although not as often as before. Another option is a black accent package 2015-2017 panel that’s what my car came with from the factory. It’s really clean and from a couple feet away you can’t see the GT badge so it looks smooth yet when you get closer to it you know it’s the 5.0That’s the problem really. Ford stopped making the version without lines on it which opened the door for Accelatec to make a version without lines.
It just needs adjusted.Over the weekend I had my Ford dealer install the ACCELATEC Taillight Panel on my 2015 GT. First, the panel is stamped "Drake" so I guess that Accelatec is owned by Drake. There was a noticeable gap on both the left and right sides where it is inline with the turn signal housing and the bottom lip did not line up with the bottom of the taillight housing. I asked the Ford body shop to put my original back on. That one lined up correctly. I am in contact with CJ Pony Parts to return the panel. They have asked what was the issue and I related the above to them. So far, nothing heard back as to an RMA number. I hope CJ's isn't going to make this return difficult.
