Default Berger Panel opinion?

First off I've got a spare panel to make a berger. I can't decide if I should go with flat black or gloss black. Then secondly should I do chrome or orange insert letters? My car is a 2002 SOM SS

Keep the panel SOM and get stainless inserts. I hate when people paint those panels. Looks tacky IMO.

My opinion would be gloss black and chrome for the cleanest look, flat black and orange for the meanest look. The latter would look great with your ten spokes powder coated flat black.

I'd probably go gloss black, chrome inserts, and gloss black rims with a chrome lip.

Then gloss black and chrome inserts for sure. If you don't like it, switch back to the SOM berger and chrome inserts on that, just mess with it until you find something you like!

Go w/ gloss black to match your top and do chrome/SS inserts like this car in the pic.

SOM + Polished wheels = No berger

Get the stainless fill-ins and clear corners and call it a day.

I say leave the camaro in SOM, you can always add the inserts later.

SOM panel w/chrome inserts. The berger flattens out the rear too much.
