Default got bored at work painted my old berger panel!!!

me and my buddy have had a fight about how he should do a gloss black berger panel on his car and how good it would look but he does not think it will look good we put it on both of our cars to see what it looks like! which one looks better?
before (mine)

after (mine)

before (his)

in between messing around

after (his)


the berger panel stayed on mine ha ha he still did not like it on his even with his black wheels what do you guys think? take in mind that one is matte black for my car ha ha

I like it better on your car. I always personally thought the berger panel looked better on darker cars.

-remove the LS1tech decal and it will look good. with it, its a no go! it takes away from the clean look of the car

-i like how it looked on your car

-did not like either on his car, but i do think gloss would look good on his. or just leave it stock, which looks good.
-tell him to do his tail lights the same too. red outs on a red car is perfection.

OP your's looks good either way. That blue/silver/grey paint is a very nice color.. heh so if it were me i'd not use it b/c want to see as much as that (assuming factory sprayed) paint as possible

I thought your buddy's red Z looked good with the black. Nice contrast, reminded me of Corvette valve/engine covers Black + Red, good combo

btw - where are your tailpipes !?

yeah agree about the tech sticker. Put it in the top of the hatch glass or the bottom corner.

Also both cars need inserts now
