Default Should I do the Berger mod?

My car is currently in the shop getting painted a custom silver w/ silver flake. While the car is being painted I figured that it'd be the perfect time to do the Berger mod. I decided that if I do get it done, I will go with gloss black and the chrome CAMARO inserts. Currently, I have black inserts on the stock silver. what do you guys think? leave the tail panel how it is or have it painted gloss black w/ the chrome?

I say go for it, it will make the car stand out. And besides, what better time to do the mod than when it is getting repainted...

Agreed. If your car isn't a Berger car, don't do it.
Makes me wanna go buy these guys a can of Krylon to fix their ghetto mismatched panel.

What's next? Black wheels, so it looks like you lost your hubcaps? LOL!

As far as I know, Berger sold more 1st Generation ZL-1 Camaro then any other dealership around. BUT, Chevrolet did not copy the black tail panel from Berger; the black tail panel signified a Big Block Chevy in the first generation Camaros' (exception being special edition cars like the Z-11 and COPO).

No, just the ones that try to look like a version of a car they arent. "Type-R" ring a bell?

No offense, but honestly I think it looks out of place on a 4th gen...

Just getting used to black mirrors and a black roof was tough enough as is but was justified as it was "from factory" and a key signature of v8 vs v6 cars...
