+1 I think you should, especially one of the 6LE emblem.

Looks good, but I think you need some Camaro inserts now.

Also, do the 3rd brake light.

I think I'm the only one that is going to say that doesn't look good. I think you should have stuck with the Silver panel and just lightly tinted the tails.

i'll second that.

as of now you have 2 conflicting blacks on the rear of your car. the lights are a deeper/glossier black, the berger is flat, which makes the flat black look really faded/worn/primered/like a replacement piece that needs to be painted still...

I'd suggest going back to the stock panel, or repainting it gloss black, or at least satin. or doing a lighter tint job on the lights, so it fits together better, cause right now it just doesn't flow right. in my honest opinion.

Also, if your gonna be blacking out everything, it'd probably look best if you did the 3rd brake light as well, and like other have said, get some fill-in letters for the panel as well.

Too much black IMO, it needs something to contrast at the back, camaro inserts or Z06 style Z28 emblems.

^ Yup, that looks like the way to go for a berger panel on this color.
