OK, today was finally the day I installed my newly painted RTR decklid panel.
Picked it up from the body shop at Noon, had it installed about a little while later, after having lunch with the GF and picking up her GT500 out of storage![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I had already removed the OEM panel yesterday so today I just had to cut out the hump and install the RTR piece.
I never got around to buying a $45 5" hole saw, but while we were at Home Depot earlier, the thought of metal snips came to mind, so I bought a $15 set and got to work.
It cut through the thin decklid metal very easily.
I then used some touch-up paint on the rough opening, and then secured the RTR panel with the double-sided tape provided on the back of the unit.
I have some flat-black custom decals that I'll be putting on in about a week or so, but for now she's gonna stay naked.
Yesterday I also added the MMD pre-painted tail light trim and the black tint for the centers of the tail lights.
So, the rear-end makeover is almost complete.
Now, on to the pics:

Different strokes for different folks.
I love it matching gray, and will love it even more once I finally put on my decals I have waiting
