    A friend got me a cell phone case for Christmas that matched my car. Unfortunately they sent the wrong model and the price in shipping it back wasn't worth the hassle. She was really upset over it, so I dissected it and made it part of the Mustang...

    The '13 decklid panel, ripped off the car and disassembled. What a pain. Broke three of the clips in the process, so when I reinstalled it I used some 3M tape to help hold it on.




    What I had to work with... disassembled gas cap and the cell case.




    Using the tri-bar as a guide, I went all slice 'n' dice on it's ass.




    That looks nice. Let's put this baby together.




    Gas cap mocked up to see how it looks... me likey.




    Decklid back in one piece.




    Back on the car (sorry it was dark at the time of reassembly).

    Yes. She was amazed at what I did with it. She gave it to me and told me what happened. When I asked her what she thought I could do with it, she said to just throw it away. I refused and did this.

    If this is either Ebay or Amazon, you have buyer protection. If they are at fault and sent the wrong item, then they have to make it right (Just an FYI). Its okay though, you took a negative and made it positive in the long run though and it came out nice.
