Default Berger Panel Opinions Needed

I have an NBM car, as seen in the sig below. I just picked up some hockey stripes that will be matte silver. Would it look odd if I painted the rear panel matte silver, as well?

I was also thinking of painting matte black for a true Berger panel, but I think that might be too busy with the matte silver stripes. I've seen pictures here of an NBM car with white stripes and a Berger panel, and it looked pretty good.

I just want to keep it tasteful and not go overboard.

Opinions?

Berger mod looks amazing on red, white, and SOM, but arent as noticeable on NBM, it wouldnt look bad, but it wont pop as the mod is intended to. As far as the silver goes, well...



Nuff said, right?

After seeing that picture, it does look like what Bob said above...A junkyard part.

I'll probably just go matte black. It won't be obvious, but it will be one of those detail things that you notice when you look close!

There ya go, it wont look bad at all, like you said, you'll just have to look a little harder for it. Post pics if you decide to do it.

It will look ok with the stripe if that's what you're concerned about
