How can I upgrade my rear end facia to get rid of the lame reflectors. I want it to be the same color as my car or like the crown vic.

I hated the reflector panel as well. First, I tried nightshading it, but that didn't do enough. Then I bought a completely different reflector panel, and didn't feel it. Next I just painted it. Simplest thing to do, auto body shops can match our colors no problem, cost me 50 bucks after tax.

i also dont feel it for the reflector panel, thats why i will be swapping to a sport black and chrome unit with tails as well. i also did consider paint, but since mine originally came with a crack in it no sense at this time just swap it out.

WOLFITZ - is this a mgm thing only i am lost You're " lost" because tom6687 doesn't have the common sense to provide his/her vehicle information ( year, make, model ) and/or provide it in his/her sig'.  BTW ... aero' Crown Victorias had reflector panels.

I Just finished swapping my rear panel to new stuff. I dont want to paint it though, as new paint will be darker anyways.   one reason i swapped also was my original had a pretty good crack from last owner, was all rtv siliconed (eww)  can just make out by keyhole and back up light.

P_weston! i looked on the parts link and i want some of that stuff. how do i go about purchasing it? If you meant you were looking at my for sale link, I only have one silver fascia, but the chrome is scratched up a bit (off a taxi) Otherwise I found my current one in a junkyard, same with the tails.
