What is a caenter panel anyway? Is it a panel in the caenter?

I've seen plenty of 240's with the center panel painted on the tail lights. It's not something that can get damaged pretty easily so you don't need to worry about it after being painted, even if it's an everyday driver. Try to find the light cover over the housing though, it prevents you from painting over your reverse lights and the paint job will be much easier.
