Yes. Looks good installed, closes up / accents large hole at lower rear of car. Black color. Uses adhesives. No issues in 15,000 miles.

That looks kind of cheesy.

They look much better in person. They line up with the diffuser blades and it appears that it is one peice. It also hides the battery and frame supports from side views.

I was reluctant, at first, to install the rear insert into the fascia. Now, I'm so glad that I did. Looks great!!!!!

I'd like to see some better pics as well. Are the blades polished/chromed or are they black like the stock fins under the rear fascia?

I'm not a fan of that part. But i would like to see some pics also on a real car.

These panels seem to look the best on dark cars, or those where the rear valance has been painted, as on cars with stripes.
Without them drivers behind you see a bunch of mechanical bits under your car, especially with lights on at night. These give a much cleaner look.
I also do not like them quite as much on body painted valences of lighter colored cars, but it does give a bit of a custom, more finished look where the colors match.

My SRT-10 is black and this part, being black, looks very good installed.
It also (mostly) obscures two large fuel pumps, a fuel cooler with fan, an Accusump and some lines, relays and hoses.
The dividers line up with the fins below and again, looks good. A friend has one of these on his red car and it looks good too.

We have done a ton of these and they look fantastic on a black car or one that has stripes , so there is a black panel on the Convertible ( this is just a ragtop part ).
They are paintable, and they , frankly look nice on cars when painted. From the back, it shuts off the view of all the rear end parts and actually enhances the visual image of the splitter vanes --- they appear to go into the bumper farther.
Key is to paint them if you have a car other than black or a striped one. We figured out the look on these with the Comm. Edition Cars in 2005, and got great reviews from all who installed . Typical part where one picture does not do it justice.

Bill or Viper X -
Is there any chance either of you could post pics of the accent panel on a striped car?

MoparMan,
My SRT-10 is solid black or I'd try. My SRTC is striped but already has a rear end treatment.
On another subject, you should log onto our website and consider joining us for some driving events. I think you'd enjoy it. www.socalviper.org.

Dan - Thanks for the invite, I appreciate it. I was on your site before when I was the VP of our region and was doing promotion for our BBQ at Sheri's. Eventually, I was locked out of your site. To tell the truth, I may be changing regions next year or leaving the club altogether.
