I think the proper way to put it is "is this rice?" However I dont think it's rice, to me it is just.... well... ugly. Drop the panel, move your plate up there and do Danno's license plate align trick.

I had light panel before and there are many holes there, I don't want to take it to a body shop, to me this was a quick solution. What about painting the panel the same color as the car?

Painting it the same color probably wouldn't look bad.

Although it is a Porsche, I'd say so.

Its a cross between "Rice" and Ugly in my opinion... I'd leave the holes or get plugs for them or something...

please be warned, this message contains high levels of sarcasim...

i love the carbon fiber look, but what i especialy love, is carbon fiber hoods (especialy on hondas, but especialy on honda civics)...

ok, sarcasim aside, naa it doesnt look that great. and it is alittle ricey, but most of all it just looks out of place

In that particular location, anything other than what Porsche designed would look bad.

I don't think a panel that matches the body would look bad at all. Much better than the red thing.
