Wondering because this is clearly the panel used on the Shelby GT-H models. So curious as to if any one bought this. The fit doesn’t look 100%. Even in the official GT-H Pics from Shelby you can see it doesn’t perfectly line up. So was wondering If any one has it installed on their 18+ models. This is hands down my favorite decklid panel for the car but don’t want a terribly fitting decklid.

I started to order sometime ago but just blacked out my chrome GT badge. I think it looks nice/different. Part number is
JR3B-63423B70-A..LMR has them for about $175.

Funny you should ask, as of 5 minutes ago, I do. Fit and finish is better than factory. I think it goes pretty well with everything else on the car.

Thanks. Good to know some people had told me the fit isn’t 100. But I ordered so I’ll be getting soon. Thanks for the feed back guys.

How did the Drake Rear Deck Lid Fit. Do the corners fit flush or do they stick out?

I think the Drake piece looks nice. For me, it was a toss up between that and the Accelatec piece. I ended up going with the latter and the fit was perfect (and cheaper at $100). Can’t go wrong with either if they both fit well!

Is the Decklid OEM or did you modify it? Mine doesn't have the bottom part that goes across.

Thanks in advance...

I just installed the Drake Tail Light panel and it is absolutely horrible. The camera doesn't go in all the way and has over .200" from the front, where the OEM Panel, the Camera is right at .050" from the front of panel and sealed. The Drake Panel does not line up with the car trim at all, horrible. Since I have to drive it in the rain to get my custom racing stripes on I had to put a small Bead of Black Silicone around camera edges to seal so rain doesn't get into the trunk. I have been doing modifications on vehicles for over 30 years and could not get the panel to fit any better. I fought for an hour moving left, right, up and down, push in, push out what ever I could.
Can some one recommend a company who makes a High Quality, OEM Fit Rear Tail Light Panel that looks awesome. Thanks Guys

Maybe @Drake Muscle Cars can answer your post, because I’ve seen nothing but positive reviews of their products across this site - and DMC has been around the Mustang scene for quite some time....

Are you sure the decklid panel is seated properly onto the trunk lid resulting in those misalignments?
