  Take your time and it's a good look!

  This was my first purchase from American Muscle for my 2010. It arrived fast, and the first thing I did was unroll it, put it under a towel and iron it as flat as I could, then stuck it on the front of the fridge...my wife was thrilled...LOL. I left it there for a few days until I had time to properly install it. II can tell you that in doing that, it was very flat and easy to work with. Worth the wait! I washed the car and cleaned the trunk panel extremely well. Then, I put a nice coat of Mothers carnuba cleaner wax on the trunk, buffed it, and it was slick as a whistle. I cleaned the magnet very well on the back, heated it up with a hair dryer in the garage, and got it situated perfect around the trunk emblem. Then, working my way outward, got it to lay just perfect. I'm very pleased with it. It is sitting just perfect on the trunk, no wrinkles or bubbles or places where it's off the body. It's just right. I think it gives the rear end more depth, makes it look a little "meaner", and kinda gives a throwback flare from Mustangs of old. For $40, I think it's a pretty simple little mod that adds a cool touch if you take your time, prep it, and do it RIGHT. If you hurry it, it's going to look like crap. The instructions talk about taking it off every time you wash the car. I almost hate to do it, because it looks just right, but I know it's smart. My only concern is how it holds up to weather and that it doesn't hurt the paint on my trunk. The quality seems good and it's cut just perfect for the decklid. Nice simple product!

  Warps

  The panel fit awesome the day I got it......after some nasty chilly winter weather in south florida and temperatures going up and down, the panel got distorted and/or shrunk to where it doesnt go to the edges anymore. I dont know if the coming hot weather will make it expand again but its irritating. Otherwise the concept is awesome

  Not perfect, but good for the money

  This magnetic blackout panel is cool in concept. Obviously easy to install, which is one of the main reasons I got it. But the edges still have trouble with staying flush with the trunk. I had to do a little trimming in order to make it fit to my liking, but still the fitment leaves a little to be desired. It looks great from afar, but when you're right up next to it, you can tell it doesn't fit exactly flush. I also don't like the fact that I have to take it off every time I wash my car, then put it back on and try and get the best fit all over again. Overall I like the look (from > 1 ft away), and this is pretty much the cheapest option for a decklid panel. That being said, you get what you pay for.

  Cheap, but you get what you pay for

  It was easy to install, unfortunately it ripped on the thin section the first day when I was going to wash the car. You get what you pay for, I didn't expect much for the price.

  Inexpensive and good looking.

  It arrived, I unrolled it. I took it out to the car and I "installed" it. It does not fit perfectly around the faux gas cap, but I am not concerned. From 5 feet away it looks perfect. You have to get very close to it to really be able to tell it is not a perfect fit. Plus, it comes right off and is not a permanent modification. If you are interested in seeing how your car will look with a blackout panel, this is the best way to check it out. You may upgrade to a permanent type of part, or leave it as is. I am still on the fence, personally. Does look great.

  Too Easy!!

  This decklid panel completed the blackout look I was going for. The fit was spot-on and has not undergone any deformities during weather changes.

  Great value

  I got it rolled up and stuck it to my washing machine for two days. It was very straight by then. Installed it and noticed that the lower deck lid was still visible, so I put electrical tape on bottom of deck lid under the magnet, you can't even notice. I would recommend this to everyone, looks great on car.

  Nice Panel

  This magnetic decklid panel is very easy to install and can be removed anytime. Also for the price I got it it was worth the buy.

  Great for the price

  It comes rolled up, so it has to be flattened. I put mine under my school books for 1 night, and it flattened just fine. Looks good and took less than 10 minutes to attach perfectly. Great deal for the money.

  Worth the money for a quick appearance change.

  When the product arrived it needed to sit out to flatten from shipping. Once flat it installed very easy as long as you are careful to tuck it under the reat faux gas cap before trying to line it up.

  good look with minor downsides

  I really like the product gives the car a good look. fitment is a little rough. The good thing about the magnet is you can take it off and adjust as much as you need. Other then a little warping that you can barely notice its worth the very low price to try it out

  Not perfect, but for $20 it was a steal!

  Other reviews will tell you, it does not fit perfectly. But it was $19.99 during the spring clearance and I am so happy I got it. I am going to get the OEM V6 Rear decklid from Ford but this pushed my decision toward it. My GF really likes the look and I am going to smoke all of my lights, rear and side markers. Headlights will eventually be the Raxiom smoke projectors. Man my car looks good. Rims were high on my list, but they will be the icing on the cake.

  good bang

  I was unsure if I would like a decklid panel with the 3M tape. this is a must buy if you have this problem. I am extremely happy with this and for the price I can probably buy 5-6 of these for the price of 1 plastic -2-sided tape piece ( sorry A.M.) WELL worth the price, and now I can see what a more expensive permanent piece will look like.

  Attractive and Easy

  This deck lid panel is simple to install, just make sure you flatten it out over night because it comes rolled up. I have had it on for about 9 months now and I have noticed some shrinking or warping in the top and bottom part, that goes around the big fake gas tank. I'm sure this is due to weathering, but for the price I'll just buy another one from AM this summer.

  Easy install, looks great.

  No need to tape/glue anything to your deck lid. Easy to remove/replace for cleaning. Looks great with set of matte black tail light trim pieces.

  Very Nice :)

  Overall its nice. It doesnt fit perfectly. I dont think its tall enough to cover all the "bow" of the trunk and at the same time it is not cut perfectly even to cover the bottom either. On the bottom right I can see a tiny bit of paint because the deck lid doesnt cover it. I was expecting something perfect that would cover the whole bow of the trunk and thats not what I got. But its pretty close to it ! Im pretty sure Im the only one who will ever notice cause its such a small detail. After install my girlfriend and friends didnt notice any flaws untill I showed them up close. I recommend this product for sure and would definitely buy it again for $60 if something happened to the one I have now. Buy It.

  Nice and Easy

  I followed the steps provided by another reviewer. I received it and ironed it flat, then stuck it on the fridge for a few days. After putting it on the car, I did have to tuck it into the circle emblem on the trunk. I was skeptical about whether or not it would stay with higher speeds, but after driving 300 miles south on the interstate and noticing it was still there when I arrived at my destination, I love it. It cost about $20-$25 less than the permanent one, but I prefer it as it is removable and able to be re-added at any time. Highly recommended!!

  Perfectionists avoid this panel

  I didn't think it was going to be the best part I've ever bought. But, I wish it fit a little better. The circle cut out makes it a little tricky to lie perfectly flat. Also, I have fridge magnets that stick harder. I laid it out flat under some textbooks for a few hours to fix the curve in the corners from it be rolled during shipping. Otherwise, looks pretty good.
