looks good, nice and clean around the emblem which would be the biggest concern for me. It seems he/she has the blackoutpanel a tad crooked, on the far left it seems to be slanted upwards, but no big deal if you have a keen eye! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

I like it! Where did you order it from?
I have been looking for a way to do this that I can change back and forth and this seems ideal.
Any plans on blacking your back spoiler?

1. I like it.

2. I don't think it's 'off'. If you look at the bottom, it's not matching in the same way the top is not aligned. Remove it and reapply it. I'm sure it would look spot on.

3. Did I mention Grabber [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif[/img] range is the hot new color for 2007? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

The "dealer" actually got that started right here on TMS.
He's nyyankee.

Here's where he made the first one for himself:

Thanks for the pics, elvism. I've been thinking about getting one, but I'm still not too sure about how short it is at the top. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/33.gif[/img]

Yes, it should be re-applied. Just pull off the sides and pull down left and you'll be o.k. But if you still feel you don't want it just send it back and I will refund your money asap. I have sold over 200 of these in the first several months and I really have not had any problems. Once you get used to putting it on, it becomes second nature. Alot better than the one shot deal with the vinyl or double stick tape one that leaves a 1/4 inch paint space around the gas cap!

I understand the To-each-his-own thing, but what is the big deal about having the rear blacked out. I think it looks great as is.

Yep. It's an old school thing. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
Also makes the rear end look less bulky.

Well, yes and no. The downside is that you need to do some of them right on the first try, like ours, but the upside is that you don't worry about it coming off - unless you really, really want it off. As to fit, well we have that pretty well covered, unlike some of the other brands out there.

All that said, this looks pretty good, and other than a fear of moisture entrapment (because of what I've seen with those silly magnetic soccer ***** and the like), I'd say it will go real well with our upcoming taillight bezels that should actually make the look Pitpup is referencing.

It does look good. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it is magnetic. After 9/11 you saw a ton of vehicles with magnetic flags on them. Over a period of time the magnet will loose some strength and start to lift while driving. This is caused by the turbulence at the rear of the vehicle. When it lifts dirt is trapped under it and will REALLY tear up the finish. As more and more dirt gets behind it the more it starts to come off and the worse it gets. I am speaking from experience.
