I was thinking of getting my tailpanel painted black(satin finish), Berger-style. Since my grille insert is black already with brushed aluminum inserts, and I have black hockey stix, I thought it would match well. Should I or leave it as it is???

I wouldnt, it would look diffrent but it might seem like its primed instead of painted...

i think you should leave it

I think that it would look nice since you have the black stripes..

That's the blend I'm going with on my car..

Satin Black Grille
Black Stripes
Satin Berger Panel...

Go for it man..

I dont think it would look good. I highly recommend keeping it like it is. Looks great already

Your car looks awesome. Don't f with the back panel.


It looks good on white cars.. that's about it.

Dude, Mako, please stop posting these pics of your car. Every time you post, I lose 1-2 hours of my day just staring at it, and 13-15% of pride for my car. Every time I think you have reached perfection, you go one step further. Which in turn, MAKES me (not just influences me) buy something else for my car. I hold you completely responsible for this severe debt accruing through mods for my car.



Bottom line: You make me feel like the fat kid in class and your car F#@$ing owns .... that is all.

LOL thanks dude - sorry about the growing expenses, but it's for a good cause right? I have to say that's the same thing that motivates me - I look at someone elses car (most recently, GMMuscle's) and say damn why doesn't my car look like that! And out comes the wallet......

Mako, I think you should leave it as it is. I don't really see the craze of the rear panel being painted, I think it looks ugly and out of place. It reminds me of someone with a Honda who can't decide what color they want their car. Looks much better as it is now than it would black. And especially being on NBM, it would look like it wasn't supposed to be there, like you were waiting for it to get painted

Hey mako, i painted mine on my NBM and it looks really great im having my rear letters filled in with white letters but it looks bad *** in my opinion and in alot of others that have seen my car.

I agree 100% I have never been a fan of the "Berger" style rear panel, but especially on your car. Car looks awesom as it sits

i had it done on my car, it looks pretty cool on a red car tho, i dunno about your color...right now im using that anel for my corvette tailight conversion.

Y2kforgedSS

yea mako i can get some pics but i have to get a digital camera.

mako22

iTrader: (2)

wait a minute - you've done all those mods and no digital camera??? They are only like $150 now.....
That's really spending every last dime on the car, I have to respect that


anyone else got pics of NBM with black tailpanel??? still undecided.....

Y2kforgedSS

well hey as soon as i get someone to let me barrow theres i will take some shots. I have 2 digital cameras i can use but im not very nice with them so thats y they r not in working order.

thanx and by the way you know what another tight looking thing on NBM cars is, is the head lights painted with a gloss black, ill show you also.

JackZ28

You can even get a real crappy one for like $10.

Y2kforgedSS
