Default C-One Rear License Panel?

Ok guys,

I was surfing through the L-Tuned Parts web site today and came across the C-One Rear License Panel, found on this site (http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=912). What is your general consensus on the part, does anyone have this installed, and how do you think the “white gel coat finish” would look on a black GS?

Not a fan of it myself.

The white gel coat finish means you need to get it painted before installing it. I think it would look kinda ghetto unpainted on a black car.

Ohhhhhh,
Well, now that you say that I don’t even want it any more. In the picture it kinda looks chrome, which I think chrome would look OK on my black GS, but I would not want to paint that piece at all.

Not a fan of this at all. In the end, it's your ride so what ever makes you happy is what counts.

Wow that looks horrible. Please don't degrade your car by buying that piece. That looks like the taillights from the Ferrari Testarossa, remember Miami Vice. LOL
