Its a little dirty but the weather's starting to get nice. Should I do the Berger panel or leave it NBM the way it is now?

Suprisingly I don't need to have them but I thought it would be cool to have them. I'm still looking for a bumper too just to "have".

Please don't! I LOVE NBM! Bail on the 5.7 High Output V8 emblem and find some nice pipes. To me, there is nothing like a clean NBM SS.

I agree that the berger panel looks great on lighter color cars...which I happen to have along with the export lights and stainless inserts......



And my panel is semi gloss not flat. I had both and the semi looks 100% better

I say ditch the tips and the 5.7 emblem. I could take the berger or leave it.. but if you do it, do it flat black. It's your choice man, whatever makes you happy. It'd look good either way in my opinion.

The letters in the pic are decals. I got stainless letters I just haven't put on yet. I think I'll take the 5.7 off and definatley get new tips. I was thinking of some Corsa clones or just do away with tips altogether.

I have a NBM TA and I painted my rear bumper CETA style in black and I got blackbird stripes in black. You really cant tell the difference until you're up close to the car, but Im glad I did personally. Extremely subtle details.
