it doesnt look good on all camaros... but on some looks real sweet... again it depends on the color of the car, and how its done... i dont like it on yellow or turquoise blue cars for example... gold, purple pearl, maroon all look good... again it depends on how its done, for example rrcox's car is very nicely done, and doesnt always look nice on silver....

its a case by case situation

my Z is silver w/ black top, black halos, black Z06's, soon to come is 5% windows, shaded tails, and the gloss black berger w/ polished inserts. i didn't like it at first but it has grown on me.
i do agree w/ most of you, you need more than just a blk berger for appearance.

Oh and by the way I like it!

i still think that the berger panel, glossy or not, looks gay.

Without the berger panel imo the rear looks to plain. Simple fill-ins dont cut it out.

I like it, I will admit it really needs some stainless or chrome inserts or to be smoothed with old school Z emblems like RrCoX22, but hey i'm old school.

I think its a must on these cars to look great. Definately need the stainless inserts though. That's just my opinion...

I like the look, but prefer gloss black on modern cars and flat black on 1st gens.

i agree

I have a berger panel and did a little research/collecting pictures before I got it. Here is a decent gallery of different Berger Panels

I'm for the semi-gloss myself, looks good on a red car (only because that's what I have), but w/o the chrome inserts it looks out of place.

The first time I saw the "berger" mod I absolutely hated it! The more I saw it the more I liked it so I had to do it to mine..no regrets.
