i'm pretty sure i'm going to stick with it, like the others said when its just the bottom to me it looks like its just a replacement part that never got painted

this (to me) looks more finish like its the way the factory would of done it if they did and i'm not going to look like a million other camaro's out there

Well as long as you like it, IMO the red Berger with chrome accents and tinted lights looks just as good especially when paired with an SS Spoiler

I still prefer the original berger mod but props for being different. Maybe pick up some oem taillights that have not been tinted and get some CAMARO inserts.

and mine?





I'd actually agree if it was satin or flat. Then it looks like it's in primer. With gloss, I think a tad differently.

Extra stripe makes it look unfinished IMO. Not digging it but if you like it, that's all that matters.

No disrespect meant, but even these. They are better looking I guess than flat or matte colored berger panels but still look like a panel from a black car stuck on the back of a different colored car.

I think its the lines of the car make this happen. I just don't think these cars are shaped right for a different colored panel like that. Example, the CETA mod for a trans am looks "right" because it doesn't stick out like a berger panel does.

I'm taking this as a personal attack!!


j/k. I did it to add a little black to my car. But I actually thought the same thing, it looks like I took the panel off of a black car and put it on mine. Which is EXACTLY what happened. But like you guys, I just didn't care, and to each his own. Here, here!!

Gloss is the only way to go...
