Default What to do for the rear fill-ins?

I have a pewter 02 Z28 and I'm looking for ideas for the rear fill-ins. I'd love to get Dragon's stainless rear fill-ins, but they don't show up enough on pewter.

Should I just do vinyl reflective black fill-ins like this:


Or go for the black tail panel (which will go with my wheels and black top) and do stainless fill-ins?

Just purchased the stainless steel fill-ins from DragonZ28 on Ebay. Might start out with them on the pewter tail panel and if I don't like it that way then I'll paint the panel black.

Thanks Dragon!

It is DragonZ28 from this site. Better hurry up and buy one of these last two sets for an AMAZING price! Seriously, $39 for mirror-polished stainless steel rear fill ins? That price is a flat out steal.

It was 4 sets left earlier tonight, but my roomate (GOT SOM?) and I each purchased a set about a half hour ago.

I like the black panel myself but I really hate that it emphasizes that stupid gap between the bumper and the panel. Gosh it makes me mad.

The stainless inserts from the dude here are very nice, if you have the money, go with them, you will not be dissapointed.

Given my choice I'd either do stainless or just smooth the whole thing out.

Yup, I purchased his stainless inserts last night on Ebay for $39. Amazing deal if you ask me.
