Arrow Post pics of Berger panel

I want to get an idea to go with flat/matte black or gloss black. If anyone has pictures of their cars, I would prefer light colored cars. Thanks guys, I cant make up my mind.

PSYKOZ28,

Are the lips on your wheels polished or painted?

nice cars guys they all look good, but it looks so much better with the SS rear spoiler. I love the look of your car 01pewter2001z28 I like the GMMG badge and the HP. I painted mine with color shifting paint. It didnt come out as good as I thought. First time painting anything.
