RE: flushed tailgate
filling and smoothing, if done properly by a professional, and respraying the whole tailgate should look acceptable... but, if you put the bit panel of stainless across the back, you dont have any chance of it cracking, or falling out when you slam the boot. It also reduces the chance of rust, cos stainless wont rust. Another advantage is that the change in angle of the tailgate means its almost impossible to notice the join, cos the light shines differently on the two angles, its kinda hard to explain, but trust me! Plus there is a lot less sanding to do cos you only need a bead of filler run along the edges to blend the metal in
