Default Keep Berger or go back?

My car is Flat black Berger'd at the moment, but I can't decide if I like it or not...

I'm going to be touching up my front end black sections (headlight buckets, and grille area) to a glossy-er black, so the panel will probably go glossy black if anything.

But I keep looking at Toronto LT1's car (hope he doesn't mind me whoring out his car), looks clean as **** without Berger and I can't decide...

My car:

It's nice to see a non-Berger modded car, seems everyone is doing it and played it out. Toronto's looks sick with that stance and wheels!

I'm not a big Berger panel fan but they do look better on certain colors. I think your color car looks better without the Berger.

I like my berger done in gloss black. But I don't mind the non-Berger look either. I think the Berger mod looks great with silver especially if you car has the black top...which I see it doesn't.

I think yours would look better with new inserts or gloss black.

^^ I agree, plus I don't think the pics you posted of your car do the berger justice, which may make this poll lean to one side.

Yeah, aside from the picture quality and photo skills lol.

I don't know what I want more, I'll probably respray this one gloss black with silver Z28 emblems.

I might just pick up a second panel and just switch em out, I change my mind so much lol.

I think it looks good both ways, but gloss would look better.

Yeah, I'll do gloss black Berger tomorrow, along with the headlight buckets.

Just finishing my front grille area as a glossy-er black, looks much better!
