Default Black berger: Fill-in or letters?

Should I fill in my letters in the back or just get some new letters for it? Gotta re-do my berger panel, so it'll be Satin black SLP "clone" with the Hurst emblem and some Embelem pro's Z28 Emblems.


Would Onyx black Z28 emblems be too much on satin black?

I got the chrome ones from emblem pros and everybody, so far, loves the way it brings out the black. Check my pictures.

^ Wait a minute....... You're in Tolland? I've never seen your car before. I was going to the BK/Berlin Tnpk shows religiously this past year.

I usually get there about 6. The last time I was there I left around 9 and it was still going strong.

They came from emblempros.com very good people to deal with and the prices are reasonable.

I painted over my letters. I have a Hurst emblem on the driver side and an emblempros LS1 emblem on the passenger (it's in my avatar). The Berger panel is satin black. I like it personally more than the letters being filled in with emblems...it'll look too busy I think with anything else on the panel.

Did you ever do anything with your SS spoiler btw? As far as painting the underside or anything?

^ Nah.. I wanted to get some airbrushing done, but never got around to finding someone to do it. The paint alone was $275. Got anymore pics of your panel? Only one in your sig. And I've got a whole roll of Di-Noc, I just wasn't too impressed with it. I can clean stuff off with prep and it still sticks when it wants to. If you overwork it, it seems to not want to stick.

And I take it regular satin black with no fill-ins or letters.. I think I'll go with that.

But anyone got any pics of satin black with smoothed letters?

Hey sorry for the late reply, but I'll try and take a couple more shots of my panel on my lunch break and upload them as soon as I can
