Which decklid panel?

I've got a question for you guys. I have a carbon fiber decklid, but its made for a 10-12 car, so it doesn't follow the curves on my taillights, and because if this there are small gaps on each side where a little bit of red pokes thru. So... I was think about selling this one and getting the new rtr panel. Which one do you like better? I really like the carbon fiber look though, but I like the design of the rtr...

Ha! I was right?! Lol, well I do like the design of the RTR one better. You could either do a couple of strips of black vinyl underneath your current one, or get the RTR one and wrap it with CF vinyl...

Yeah you were! I didn't see it until u pointed it outI can get the panel hydro dipped like carbon fiber, but its not as nice as real cf. I like both really. The main thing that bothers me is how it doesn't curve with the tail lights.

Well you have other matte black accents, that's why I suggested the CF vinyl wrap - it's subtle enough, but stands out too. Personally, I'm not a fan of the hydrocarbon, but it's your ride! I do like the way the RTR panel matches the lights a lot better...

The RTR decklid panel piece really goes with the contour of the rearend and the vinyl in the rearend. It looks like the car came with it. As far as the CF look - sorry, not for me.

RTR by far! The way the other one doesn't curve in just doesn't look right

RTR looks best. Do you have carbon fiber anywhere else on the car?

Not yet, the hood vents are being hydro dipped carbon fiber. I think in going with the rtr and I'm going to sell the one I have now.
