Honeycomb Panel YES or NO.
« on: July, 20, 2010, 12:05:54 PM »
I thought I was going to leave the honeycomb panel off my Mach to expose the stripe but after putting it on for a look, I think I like it.
What do you think?

With the panel for sure.  Just the honeycomb trim looks out of place IMO.

Im a little undecided but I like your paint job too much to hide it.

However, if there are no holes in the rear body for the trim strips yet, I'd leave them and the honeycomb off to show the stripe. If there are holes for the strips, then I'd use the honeycomb too.

I like it without the trim AND/OR the honey comb grille.

I vote for the honeycomb panel. I have always liked the way the 70 back end looks blacked out.

Since the trim is there either way, I'm gonna say with. The trim looks odd without it.

Tough decision.  But for what it's worth, I like it with the panel.

The paint job and stripe is awesome.  I do like it with the blackout treatment and say go with it especially if the holes for the trim are there.

 I came to the same conclusion, YES to the Honey.
The holes for the trim where there so I had to put it back on, as nice as the stripe looks it just looks better with the panel on, plus that panel was given to me from my daughter as a christmas gift which makes it look even better.
Thanks Guys

Since the holes for the trim are already there - you pretty much have to run it.

But I myself prefer the clean look of no panel and just the stripes.
