unit 213 gave me his extra set of chrome inserts, and the extra panel is free...so i should be out of pocket ~$3 for a can of paint and still keep my Gunmetal Panel as a spare.

Yeah, I tried sealing the crap out of mine, didn't work. SO, now I am going to do the opposite... drill holes in the bottom for moisture to escape.

Not at all... I've seen it done and think it looks great! More of a sleeper mod but very cool.

Heck, the black Dick Harrell cars had their panels in satin black (at least looks like that from the pic, never saw it in person)...

All the GMMG/Berger cars have the satin tail panel, even on black cars.

Considering doing mine like this now, but I already have my stainless inserts in. It's going to be a bitch to get them back out and then try to re-cut some 3M double sided tape to fit so well on the backs of the letters.

It's not too bad (thought my black was too light and re-did mine before)...

Just pry out CAREFULLY... then stick 3M tape on and THEN trim excess with sharp scissors (much easier and cleaner than trying to cut the 3M tape to fit beforehand).

We will see. I'll tape it on after I paint the panel to see if I like it.
