To Berger??? Or not??

I cannot decide if I should or not! And if so what black? Flat? Satin? Gloss?
What do you guys think??

keep it stock. looks best that way.

what i suggest if you really like it and are curious to see it, is to go to a junk/salvage yard and pick one up.
paint that and then swap them. if you like it, leave it. that way you'll still have the original.

And if you do it, do either satin or gloss. (anything BUT flat

)

i have 2 extras right now. each one was like $19 from a Pick-N-Pull junk yeard.

i normally like the berger. but that car looks really sharp the way it is. personally, i would leave it alone. i think with the stripes in may be too much. gloss black may look good tho. either way, very clean car!

I agree with everybody else LEAVE IT ALONE ! But if you really want to do it with out painting it try going to a vinyl wrap place & let them fit some on & if you don't like it peel it off. but i think it looks good the way it is.

Here's a pic to show you how the car would look with the berger mod. Paint was a Flat Black, but i sprayed a couple coats of clear on it to give it a glossy look.

Usually on the "berger it" side. This time, not. Keep it the way it is.

Agreed. I think it looks perfect as it is. I usually say berger, but not with your car.

Leave it alone, sir! 35th LE cars don't need much IF anything to look better.

Just so you know, his car isnt a real 35th LE but i agree. He should leave it alone, i wasnt to sure about it at 1st myself but i saw a few LE's over on the 35th LE forums with it. I ended up liking it, so i went with it. I also have the black slp ss grille on, so i think it goes with the berger.
