They do the Berger mod to be nothing like TAs. It goes back to 1st gens that had black rear panels.

correct. do any of you even know the real meaning of the black berger panel? if any of you did you wouldnt have it on your car. especially you guys that hate the people who put SS stuff on their Z28 and call it an SS.

1967-1973 the only cars to receive the factory black panel were the cars equipped with a big block. i think it looks good but, after 1973 camaro's never came with a big block. this is why i say that people wouldnt have it especially the ones that hate the people who put SS stuff on their Z, because this is exactly like that. you dont have a big block, so dont put the panel on there. and i agree with some that this mod is becoming overused. but to each his/her own. i think it looks good even if it is overused, just not ethical.
