Black. Get a tail panel from a junk yard in case you don't like it. hahahah.

Silver or white or RED with a RED manta decal would be my choice.

Do what LandonZ has, and what I want: paint the panel satin black. On a gloss black car, it's very subtle and effective. It would go perfectly with my black billet grille too.

I've seen a black car with a satin black panel. Kinda looked weird....

On a black car maybe go with white or if you can, chrome the whole thing. Neither idea has been done to my knowledge. maybe for good reason.

my opinion: DONT DO IT, . . keep it all black, painting it any other color would look way to outta place, . . like i was thinkin of paintin my valance for my ws6 (gmmg mod) but it would look fugly . . . oh yea beautiful camaro, . . got that lt1 ws6 hood going, . . may i recommend some smoked head lights?? consider it, . . it would look bad ***

I've wanted to do this to my car for a while but haven't found a good deal on that panel. I did a search under LandonZ and came up with nothing. Who is this guy? Is that the correct name? Thanks

paint it flat black... On a black car, the subtle change makes it looks so freaking good when you are driving. Dont paint it red or silver or any other color looks terrible...sticks out like a sore thumb

His name is 02blackzzz BTW

heres a black car with a silver panel just so u can see how bad it looks....I dont have any new pics of landons car tho.
