Important Considerations for Replacement

If you are looking to purchase or replace this part, keep the following in mind:

• Bare Panel vs. Assembly: This part number typically refers to the outer sheet metal/composite panel only. It does not usually include the glass, hinges, latch mechanism, internal trim, or the “Vantage” badges unless purchased as a “Tailgate Assembly” (often part number AD23-40110-AA).

• Material: Depending on the specific year and model (e.g., standard V8 vs. a weight-saving V12 variant), these panels are traditionally made of lightweight materials.

• Painting: OEM body panels are usually supplied in “Prime” (unpainted). You will need to have it color-matched and painted by a professional body shop.
