My only suggestion is to switch from the GTS taillight covers to Nightshades as a few people have mentioned in the thread. A lot of people have had problems with taillight covers melting/warping their taillights from the heat buildup... the covers just trap and hold that heat in. It doesn't always happen to all of them, but just keep an eye on them just in case. 
Otherwise, looks pretty good, the berger panel itself came out nice, I'm not much for them, but the quality is pretty good.

Thanks for all the good comments, keep em' coming!
The blackouts have already warped my taillights, will they eventually cause my lights to melt all the way through??
All you need to do it is sand paper, primer, and paint. I used 220 grit sand paper to get all the clearcoat off, then rinse, next I sprayed 2 heavy coats of primer on it, then after the primer dries, you wetsand it with 600 grit sand paper very lightly, after that I sprayed 3 coats of Semi-flat black spray paint , if you need any help feel free to pm w/ any questions. http://projectcamaro.com/bergerpanel.htm has alot of usefull information also.
