Default Silver Rear Panel Filler

Silver rear panel filler on a silver car... thoughts, opinions, or pictures?

Afterthoughts Auto has it, but doesn't have a couple other decals I am looking for... any other options besides firebatcave.com?

There was a post about this rear center panel on LS1.com a couple weeks back. Someone with a red car did a quick photoshop of it.

Did not look good IMO, ...

Go search for it over there, ..., Gotta be there somewhere, ...

Firebird center panel, Right?

Two options, ..., Polish yours clean, then purchase a decal, ..., Or purchase the CETA filler panel that comes with the silver bird & text on it already.

You'll have to use the "search" button up there to find the part number tho, I don't know what it is right now.

Or search the 'other' LS1 board, it was posted there recently.

Good Luck!

The springs are Sportlines and the rear filler came off of a CETA.

Free advice: body parts like these are cheaper if you can find a wrecked car.
I got my filler off of a totalled CETA for about $15

I agree... the CETA would be the way to go, but since I do not have a Trans Am I will not buy it and am therefore in the market for a decal. I talked to Afterthoughts Auto and they are trying to make one, guess I will just wait 3 weeks for them.

Looks great on your car black02TA BTW.
