Carbon Fiber rear license Panel

Was curious to see some input on which rear carbon fiber license panel to get...

There are 3 choices to choose from:

1) Tyrant carbon fiber license panel

2) CarbonTrix Carbon Fiber License Trim

3) Carbign Craft’s Dry Carbon Rear License Plate Backing

Anyone have any feedback on these?

I don't know, but from your pics in the first post, I guess it's the CarbonTrix - I didn't exactly compare brands when I bought it

. Carbon fiber never really fits perfectly, but it fit very well. I think the quality of it was as good as any, and as good quality as I expected. The reason I like that exact style is the border goes around the whole hole consistently. I mean the border continues around the top part, whereas the other 2 only have exterior borders on the sides. Sorry if that makes no sense...
