are you talking about selling the whole car, or just the berger panel? if whole car i would probably just leave it, and let the new owner decide what he/she wants to do with the berger panel. if you are talking about selling just the berger panel i would leave it up to the buyer and say you will paint it for an extra ~$15-30

I would leave it and sell it. I wouldn't think it would be worth more because it's painted black so why spend the money to paint it? Just my .02

It would cost me $10 to paint it right and add inserts back. If someone already has a red one why would they want a red one? I just see the Berger panel with silver inserts being easier to sell. Most people are a afraid to do it or dont have the time Also how much ya think i should sell it for? I know those GM 35th le inserts are not cheap.

Sell it and offer them the choice of: As is or Primed. I would think that it would sell fairly easily.

Are those red letter inserts for your berger, or did you paint inside the indents with red paint? Looks good.
