- Hides that rediculous keyhole.
- Completes the retro-Mach 1 look.
- It's different than stock.

any thoughts of putting the ribbing on perimeter, and a 69 pony emblem in the center? always loved the 69 gascaps- except for the fact it is in the most assinine place anyone coulda ever put it
My 69 will get a fuelcell before it ever sees the road again(if that ever happens) but the look of the old cap was very cool.

That being said I like the stock medallion.
And i think the honeycomb back is hideous,but everyone has their own preferences

Thankfully I've developed somewhat of a thick skin for when people call my designs "hideous" - it's okay - someday I'll design something you will like for your car...

I saw the honeycomb panel in person the other day and was impressed with the fit and look but I think it's more of a Mach 1 thing imo. The rear cover is a no go for me but it sounds like there are people here who want to buy one so good for you.

Hey Marcello, I really respect you for how well you take the criticism. That being said I would like the rear honey comb panel more if it wasnt so bulky and didnt stick out so far. Question, how thick is it? Im thinking of going the way of some of the other forum members and just painting that area flat black or semi-gloss.

I realy dont like the stock rear medallion, but I really dont like your honey comb panel either. Depending on how this medallion looks, I might order one in black anodized, are the screws silver on all of the medallions, or on the black are they black?

Hey Marcello, any chance of something like this? It would cover the keyhole completely (fine by me). It doesn't necessarily have to have the "GT" on it, it could be blank so it could be customized with a tri-bar pony or whatever comes to mind.

Well, take the picture you posted and cut out some of the screws on the periphery, and put GT horizontal instead of vertical, and you're going to be close to the piece we have made for the GT. Sorry I don't have any pictures, I just didn't think to grab any from the machine shop before they went off to anodize. Hopefully they will be back by the end of the week, and everyone will be able to see them.
As to the tribar pony mount, that's one of the options for style #3 - it is more a "semi-finished" piece that allows us to do engraving, emblem mounting, etc. to it.

Screws are silver in appearance because we use stainless steel there. They are a standard thread, so they are not hard to replace, but standard black oxide screws would rust, hence why we stick with the stainless. Of course, they are easily removable, so they could be painted if you like and then re-installed on the part.

It actually sticks out less than the taillights, and although the border edge is ~.750 thick, the honeycomb area only sits ~.180 off the surface - the difference in plastic finishes adds to the illusion of depth in the part, since in reality is is more shallow than the original piece by a few thousandth's of an inch. The originals were all flat surfaces, where we have the gloss and sandblast etch to make the honeycomb "jump" off the surface background.
The thread dedicated to the development of the panel is here in case you'd like some more reading on how our development goes on the forums:

Marcello - very nice job (again as usual)...
I would like to see what this would look like in Satin Black (both regular and GT).
I have your black fuel filler door on my car and have accented the GT and recesses with Yellow Vinyl to match the color of the car. I get thumbs up all the time and send them to your website.
Thanks!
