CDC Rear Decklid Panel (10-14 Mustang)

Video Review & Installation

Hey I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I’m checking out this CDC rear deck lid panel, fitting all 2010 and newer Mustangs. When the throwback design of Mustang debut in 05, it left a lot to talk about, of course the retro inspired styling, the 3 valve motor, there wasn’t much not to like, however, some folks were never really sold on the whole fake gas gap thing on the rear deck lid. This panel from CDC is for those people. Taking a closer look at the panel itself you can see it completely eliminates the fake gas cap on the rear deck lid, using this one piece, textured molded plastic panel, that does feature these small ribs, giving it that early 70’s Mach 1 type of vibe. Flipping the panel over you’ll find the 3M tape already preinstalled on the back, making for a very easy installation, without the use of any messy bondo or drilling. As for the install, you’ll want to make sure you have a few things with you before you get started. This includes a hair dryer or heat gun, adhesive cleaner or alcohol, painters tape, and a plastic wedge, in this case we used one of our vinyl squeegees. The hardest part of this whole install is going to be removing that factory emblem from the rear decklid panel, but that’s what the heat gun, painters tape and wedge are for. You’re going to want to first loosen up the adhesive on the back of the factory emblem using your heat gun or blow dryer. Once it’s good and hot, go ahead and start prying it off using your plastic wedge, using your painters tape to protect your cars paint. Once the emblem is off completely, go ahead and clean up any adhesive left on your decklid panel, using your adhesive remover or alcohol. Once you’ve got that step done go ahead and remove the backing on the 3M tape, go ahead and install carefully, that’s it. Doing all this should take you about 15 minutes, but if it takes you longer to get that emblem off, don’t get discouraged. So if you love everything about the retro design of the 2010 and newer cars except for the fake gas cap on the rear deck lid, then you’ll want to check out this CDC rear deck lid panel, available right here at AmericanMuscle.com
