I have had the Berger panel and LE hood scoop insert on my NBM SS for a couple of years now and was thinking about removing both of them. Want opinions, like the car better with the insert and panel or without?

Holy Steam Rollers Batman!!!! If you just had to change something then I would change the berger panel. Everything else looks great. GMMG....

I think it will good either way, but I dont care much for the flat black look. I do think it looks good now though, so you can't really go wrong here.

I'd say it looks good as is now, no need to change anything.

I like the Berger panel, if you sell it, let me know. The only thing I would change is that you need export tailights, and possibly get the black oem headlights. Looks good!

yeah i've never heard of black oem's


and loose the berger panel, sooooo tired of cars with the back panel painted on them, when one or two of them have them, it's nice, but when you see it on almost EVERY other camaro....no. It's not a custom thing anymore, just to common now.

Ive always liked a silver theme on NBM. Maybe go off of that Ex: paint the scoop silver or maybe even the berger panel silver instead of black. Just an idea for thought.

your car looks really good. i would put a gloss clearcoat on the berger panel, i think they look way better when they are gloss. what size are your rear tires, those are freakin wide, 315's?

Yep, 315's. Major headache's getting them not to rub but I did it and it's worth it...

If there aren't many Camaros in your area with the Berger, keep it. On the internet it seems like everyone has it. That's because we are people who enjoy modding. In my entire life, I've seen only one with a Berger panel. Keep it (or sell it to me locally).
