Rear blackout panel

Has anyone here had hands on one of those blackout panels that you stick on down by the exhaust tips to make a C5 look like a C6??Any thoughts/comments?CJ.

Just paint it, cheap easy and looks better than a stick on

Why not paint it on? Quite a few guys did there's, including me, much cheaper and a good DIY feeling.

cheaper! yes! looks better than stick on? you decide. it doesn't fit like a glove. therefore you must follow directions while installing. I like the look....

"Textured look" can be had using semi-flat black paint -- a wonderful mod that can be had for under five bucks and careful masking.

I have one. Love it! Like some others have said, "test fit" it a couple of times before applying the adhesive strips. Once you stick it on - it stays!
