Talking Berger panel - my version.

I've wanted to throw a berger on my red 98 Z28
for some time now..I wanted to do my own take
on it and as far as I've seen mine is slightly different.

So, I finally found a pick and pull camaro with one in good
shape.

Some wetsanding, black primer, black semi gloss and clear
coat and she's all painted up.

I'm really impressed with the Emblem Pro's Camaro inserts
they look quality..much better then I'm used to seeing
with aftermarket badges!

Still waiting for my LSx badge to replace the Z28. Once
that comes in it's install time!!

to be a great combo.

Your looks VERY similar to the pic...I know because It's mine, lol. I did do the red bowtie, But no, I did not do the LSX badge, kept stock red/black SS badges.





I also cleared the **** out of them to make them glossy.

Looks great thanks for posting!!

I was worried that the inserts would look over the top or cheap as I've had bad experiences with other aftermarket badges. emblempros makes a top notch product; really impressed!

Installed this evening! I'm still debating whether or not
to add the red bowtie beside the lsx like the stock setup.

It kinda looked overkill when I did a mock up with it..too
many emblems in one area is kinda tacky imo

I believe it was called the Wartribe..it's basically a Warlock/Beast hybrid.
It's easily the best guitar I've ever owned. The neck is just amazing and
the craftsmanship is unreal. I love BC Rich guitars, this is made
in Korea and you would swear it was made in USA with how perfect it is!

Thanks man..I really appreciate the feedback! Maybe this will change
some opinions on berger panels. I'm glad I didn't go the plasti dip route.

Wow..looks awesome dude. I'm digging the carbon X. I think
it suits yours better because it's an all black car. When I did
the test fit, it was a little too much red going on. I'll take another
look tonight
