Yeah, what's the point of doing it gloss black if it's already that way.

I thought about it, then I seen one at the St Ignace Mi. car show. After that, I passed on it. Just put the stainless inserts on the back.

I remember one of the first STS vids there was a black car, w/ a silver panel it looked decent if you have to do the berger mod on a black car.

Screw the naysayers !!! Do it, it will look great !!! This picture:



...is a picture of a Berger done kind of crappily (look at the passenger side edge)...

When it's done right it looks great

I've never understood the Berger Panel. To me, it seems like the Camaro equivalent of putting a black tailgate on a truck that isn't black.
