Cool!! I’ve been thinking about deleting mine too

Looks pretty slick. Does it bolt-on from the inside? Does it include license plate lights or do you transfer those from the original part?

it's a replacement panel
bolts from the inside - all lights and hatch release are easily transferred over to the new panel

That looks good. Shame my environment has snow

Ron, when do you expect to start shipping these? Looking forward to getting my mitts on one.

the first panel fit was off a little (EU vs US hatch differences) so I sent a factory panel to Kruise. We will see the panels very soon.

Sweet, I figured there was an issue based upon the first delivery date of Sept 23rd.

This may be a good thing for me.
As you know, I have a Seibon CF rear hatch and although it fits perfectly, it too was patterned off an EU Fiesta.

What was different about it?

Order placed!

What was different about it?

width, depth, and mounting hole alignment
pretty much everything
just like the front and rear bumper covers, all different from the US Fiesta
