Default a better view from behind... :D

A while ago a purchased a new piece for my formula, to replace that old faded firebird and symbol on the back. it was a pinkish orange bird and the lettering was completely gone

i finally got around to installing my new piece. picked it up from a member on this board (maybe he'll chime in, i don't know if he still makes these)... its painted and then clear coated so it shouldn't fade. I had him make a custom one to say "formula" instead of "firebird" . what a difference... see for yourself, just excuse the crappy cell phone pictures


Old faded piece of crap:





New bling:

Looks like a nice product; however, I prefer the plain black panel.

Looks way better I even like how you left it dirty for the before pics only to have it all clean and buffed for the after. Like an infomercial.

^^ i didn't clean ne thing the pics were taken literally like 5 minutes apart... the panel was clean cuz it was a new one. i probably should have cleaned the car b4 taking pics but i'm lazy.


edit... and yea the tips don't stick out like that if u see the car in person, must be the angle from the camera, if they looked like that i would cut them off.
