Thanks. I used to have the rk sport letters that you had but decided to go with something a little different. Thr rk sport letters look good on your car.

I think the Berger panel is a nice mod for Z28's & SS's. But it's so overdone that it's nice to see some regular style panels.

I don't think the berger mod is any more overdone than the CETA mod on Trans Am's I think both mods break up the back of the cars and give it more to look at. It was one of my favorite apperance mods on my car

i agree that the ceta mod is done probably just as much as the berger.

the difference to me, is that every damn person who has not done the berger and is getting ready to, feels that instead of searching for pics of cars with it, they need to start a new thread asking for pictures of their colored cars with it, or what kind of fill-ins to use, or what color (satin, gloss, flat, matte, etc, etc), or this, or that. personally, i find the search to be a GREAT tool, and i feel some people should use it a little more.

there's SOOO many threads about the berger mod it's rediculous. the same cannot be said about the Ceta mod

you're right they are both over done. and it's not fair to generalize like that. a berger panel is not the same as a CETA mod. two different cars, two different mods. plus the CETA mod looks like it actually belongs there. to me the berger looks out of place.

and to me 'over done' is not a valid argument in anything car related. cars are mass produced for one thing and on top of that our cars are 8-12 years old. so most likely any idea you might have for a mod has already been done. and more than likely has been done many times. soooo most mods to our cars are 'over done'. just saying.

i think the berger looks good! if i had a reg z or ss i'd prob do it too, played out or not i think it makes it look a lot better but that is just my opinion...

btw, where do you keep gettin tickets at? i saw you pull up at kemah last weekend, car sounds good!

[QUOTE=Juicy J;12952719]I have 2 panels that I switch out when i get bored of my car's appearance (I know, I am a geek).QUOTE]

Thats what I was thinking about doing. Some cars it looks real good, and others not so much. Sometimes it reminds me of a car that got wrecked and it looks like someone just found one in a junkyard and slapped it on. Im still undecided on the berger.

Great idea for a thread!

Some cars are begging for one, others look amazing without it!

thanks! last weekend i didn't stay long cuz me and my gf were sick and just weren't really in the mood. i'm pretty sure i saw your car, don't think i ever spotted you though. hopefully we'll be there this saturday too.

but yeah i got a ticket in pasadena in november for 10 mph over, did dd and got it removed. friendswood in december for no cats, no front LP, and dumped exhaust, the no cats is on my record the other two got dismissed. webster in january for expired registration, no proof of insurance, no driver license, warning on my exhuast, warning on my front LP(i had left my wallet in my camies from working). all those got dismissed...for a price

i lost so much money for all that stupid ****. it could have all been avoided and i feel like a retard for it. but i guess i learned my lesson.

I like both, but I do like the de-badged rear with just the Camaro inserts. I think it really makes the rear of the car look clean. My rear Z-28 emblem will be coming off this spring.

Im not a fan of the berger mod , it looks out of place . It does look oook on "some" of the retro painted and stripe combos on the Dick Harrell supercar and other Berger cars .

Here is the rear of my car and some pictures of what I just received in the mail for on it. I do like the looks of the berger on some cars I just am not sure it would look ok on my car just yet.
