If I do it, I'd probably try and find a spare tail panel to paint so I still have my original one in case I don't like it.

I think it looks good, but like you mentioned in your earlier post, get a used panel and try it out that way if you dont like it you can just go back......

yeah... on my old camaro.. I bought an old one and painted that. I loved it so much it was a waste of time... but it was nice cheap insurance. Those stainless letters are worth every penny. Also... they are very re-usable. Fishing line, and sneak it behind the letters. Use a sawing motion to cut through the tape and presto.. they are out. You'll need more 3M tape to put them on again.

This might be a crazy idea, but you should try photoshopping the berger panel to be the same color as your wheels. I'd be interested to see what that looks like.

The only way I would do it is with another rear panel not the stock SOM color. That way if you do not like it you can change back and not have to worry about matching the SOM color.
