I need 1 S to complete SS or I might just buy 2 new ones. I took the 1 S off my black panel to put on my orange one.

I think that color looks pretty good without the black berger panel. My vote is on keeping it the way it is. But it would definitely look good with whichever you decide.

I like the SOM berger panel but I might be a little biased towards the color

No, this was my pewter SS. My Z28 is actually being stripped and I just have to take out the carpet now. I finally got it to turn on and I snapped a pic of the odometer (10,858)

I must say, it looks real good. Maybe you could swap back and forth between the SOM and Black rear tail panel. Just my two cents.

Black berger would add some black to the rear that would tie in with the black slp grille & whistlered headlights. Looks good either way, but i would definately put it on and see what you think about it though.

Don't do it, just paint the front badgeblack and only leave SS bases on it, ditch the chevy bowtie.

Car looks insanely good.
