Air Design Trunk Lid Appliques
A black decklid has been part of Mustang styling for several generations, and Air Design's trunk lid applique brings that look to the latest platform. Air Design is a California-headquartered automotive personalization company that has worked with OEM partners and the aftermarket for more than 30 years. Its Rear Trunk Applique in Gloss Black for the 2024 and newer Ford Mustang applies that experience to a single, well-defined styling upgrade. It is also offered through Ford's accessory channel as an item made for Ford by Air Design.
Materials and Finish
The applique is thermoformed from high-impact, multilayer ABS Senoplast polymer, a material chosen for its resistance to impacts and everyday wear. Air Design describes its construction as a tough three-layer co-extruded ABS. The finish is an OE-approved, UV-stable gloss black that arrives install-ready, so there is no need for additional paint work. The scuff-resistant surface is meant to hold up to the washing, wiping and weather a rear deck sees over time.
No-Drill, Removable Installation
Many rear-end styling pieces require cutting or drilling sheet metal, which can invite rust and leave permanent marks. This applique avoids that entirely:
- Attaches with 3M automotive-grade double-sided tape, with no holes drilled in the trunk lid
- Designed to avoid the rust and unwanted gaps that drilled mounting can cause
- Removable, so the car can be returned to stock appearance if desired
- Fits 2024 and newer Ford Mustang models
This approach appeals to owners of newer vehicles who want a clean, factory-style look while protecting the original body panels and keeping the car's configuration reversible.
Warranty and Fit
Air Design backs its Rear Trunk Applique with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. Because each piece is engineered for a specific year, make and model, the contours are designed to follow the Mustang's decklid shape rather than relying on a universal form. Air Design applies the same model-specific approach to its tailgate appliques for pickups, which carry a satin black finish. The Mustang piece is its gloss black counterpart for a car trunk.
Who It Suits
This applique is a good match for Mustang owners who want the traditional black decklid treatment on a body-color car, or who want a sportier rear-end look that complements the car's lines without major modification.

Shopping Considerations
Before choosing a trunk lid applique, confirm the model years covered, since decklid shapes change between generations. Check the finish and whether it matches your vehicle's existing trim, and review the attachment method and warranty terms. Air Design's offering pairs a UV-stable factory-style finish, a non-invasive adhesive installation and multi-year coverage in one focused product.
