Thumbs up Matte black filler panel decal on my black TA

Hello all!

Last week I removed the red ink filler panel decal on my TA. I'm going for the all black look and that made it look a lot cleaner. Although it looked good, I finally decided the blank panel looked a bit too plain. So I just finished putting on a matte black decal and that added the subtle amount of detail I was looking for. (My car isn't as clean as I would like it to be, but it was cold out today while washing my car.)

Bingo!

The plastic of that piece can be polished to erase the OEM emblem.
