Default Should I do the Berger panel to my car?

Hey just wondering what you guys thought I don't know if my car looks like there's something missing on the back. I was thinking about doing the Berger panel in gloss black to match the rest of my stripe or do it in a satin black. Tell me what you guys think. Thanks

i would just leave it as is. i think gloss berger panels look like crap and since you have the stripes i dont think thata satin or flat berger panel would look right.

I say go for it man!
I think it would look killer. Either a gloss or satin would look fine.

Trying to debate whether or not to go that route with my Z28 as well!

Satin all the way. Gloss looks nice on some cars but satin still looks best.

I would leave it as is. If anything black rear fill ins and an SLP grille would be better than the berger panel.

Adam,
I'm a huge fan of the Berger panels, and I think it would look sick on you'r car. I really like the idea of a semi-gloss with chrome or red inserts. Gloss looks good, but almost gives you the impression that the car was rear ended and the piece was replaced with a part from a black car lol. Flat black looks amazing may not go to well with the clean and glossy look of your car. Semi gloss may give you the best of both worlds. I painted the hood on the Beast and the sub-frame for the RX7 in semi-gloss. for pretty much the same reasons.

Maybe it's the ricer in me, but do they make one in carbon fiber?

Adam, I'm gonna have to say no. If you didn't already have the big stripe down the middle I would say yes. I saw your car at the mall last night, looks good just the way it is. Remember, sometimes less is more!

I would tend to agree with Chris on this, your car looks good as is, no need to add more. The Berger was a nice idea before everyone (generalizing a bit) did it. Concentrate on the mechanical/functional aspects of the car, the aesthetics are already there.
