Vista's with tail light blackout panel?
Vista's unite!
Who has blackout panels on their trunk? I am heavily considering a vinyl one, but can't decide flat or gloss black.
Bonus points for CS rears, GT500 wings, and tinted tail lights.
which panel it is.. is it magnetic or vinyl?
1.) I want it very tight to the faux gas cap, aka not show any blue around the edge
2.) I want to find one that extends the curve to be flush with the panel that has the third brake light.

I had the magnetic one, fit very tight around the emblem, went up to the lip like you mentioned...but I took it off a few times to clean and at about 2 yrs old it started cracking, think the magnet material dont age welll...but the semigloss vinyl face looked good until the magnet cracked.
I'm going to redo with semigloss vinyl soon- but procrastinate...might have found a cheep set of busted taillights to mill a red backup lens filler out of- milling the clear out will be fun, will probably need to make a wood fixture for the mill...if so will do the blackout while messing around back there...
nice thing about the magnetic one is you can painlessly try it out...if yopu dont pull it off, it would probably last a long time- but they do collect some dirt along the edges- guess you could just peel the edges back a little to clean, but I pulled it off and rewaxed under...
