Default Bergered out or not?

Well I put my stock rear valance on and I am not sure if I like it better or not. I feel it looks cleaner but idk... It seems like everyone painted their **** flat/gloss black and it's more rare to see a stock painted valance then a black one. If just looks like something is missing now...

Because this forum is over run with our cars of course it looks like everyone and their mother has a Berger panel. But when your talking about towns. How many people have an fbody? Then how many people even know what 'Berger' is? Keep the panel. Or you could just fill in the CAMARO like I have with gloss black.

Dont do flat. It looks terrible. Do sain or semi-gloss, it gives it a more intentional/finished look. You can't go wrong with fill ins from emblempros either

I love the look of the Berger. Breaks up the rear of the car more IMO. Maybe leave the Camaro lettering body color with Berger panel?? See how that looks.

I think it would look better if you put in the matching body color inserts and maybe put the emblems back on or get new ones to update the look a little bit.

I feel the berger has been done a bit much(though it does good) but I vote the clean paint match look with a nice set of Camaro inserts, I just got my black onyx with orange out line in(no berger panel)

Definitely see where you are coming from... try something new, smooth it out and throw on a nice emblem right in the center. Looks great, no as many people do that either.

Did you guys who painted the berger panel, take it off, or just leave it on and tape and newspaper around it to paint it? I can't decide which is easier...
