Default What to do with my rear/berger panel?

Trying to decide what to do with the rear/berger panel on my car. The way I see it, there are 4 choices that could go with the theme on my car:

1. Leave it alone
2. Gloss black CAMARO lettering on a pewter panel
3. Gloss black the entire panel
4. Gloss black the panel with pewter CAMARO lettering

What do you think? Pictures of my car are attached, the ugly front license plate has been taken care of.

Being that you have black z06 rims... i would do the gloss.. satin i think would clash.

your choice of black whether it be semi gloss or gloss, and then get stainless inserts not pewter vinyls

There will be no stainless, it wouldn't match anything on the car. And there won't be anything done in flat black either, again it'd clash...the grille clashes enough as it is, I need to get a glossy one.

And if I do pewter lettering in the panel, it won't be vinyl, it'll be the same paint that is on the rest of the car.

Leave it alone. Lower the car. Get black wheels with a polished lip.

actually thats semigloss black on my car... not flat... but i know what you meant.. haha..

also.. those are stainless inserts.. painted pewter with the proper color variation to match as close as possible to the car.. also with a semigloss clearcoat

Cool, I like how it looks, I think I'd just like to do it in gloss, but the same theme...either that or leave it alone, I don't think black lettering on pewter or solid black will look right to me.

I like the idea of lowering it...thats in the works too, but no polished lip for me, I don't like how they look.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

No gloss! I'd say satin with stainless fill ins, but that's not an option so IDK.

vert z, your car looks nice, not the look for me, but it does look nice, I like the 93-96 tailights, I might pick up a set of those to tint and swap to at the same time as the rear panel.
