Default To Berger or Not To Berger (Pics included)

Well, I just so happen to have a black tail panel from my old car. I swapped it onto the SS to take pics to decide if I want to go the Berger route on the SS. So remember the pic is glossy, I could also do a flat black berger.

Car without Berger (obviously)

For sure do it. Looks sick with the black wheels and the silver vinyl insert really sets it off. I would flat black it.

I think it looks sweet, you dont have to flat black it if you don't want to, already looks great.

I like it also. Take some pics in the day so we can get a better idea how it looks.

is it just me, or is the rear tire really narrow? looks like you could use a wider tire in the back.

yes do it but in flat black...

How about a compromise and do it semi-flat? Either way, you need it.

YEah they arnt very fat. The wheel is 19x10 the tire is a 275 Nitto Extreme ZRs. I just picked up the car yesterday, and the tires dont bother me that much. Id have to take out a loan to replace them lol. Plus it already has rubbing issues I can imagine with wider tires it would really suck

I like it, i dont even think it needs to go flat. Ties in with the rims better with a gloss finish.

Glossy black Berger panel + SS spoiler + SLP CME valence and dual tips + blacked out taillights on a silver car = as many ******** as you could imagine.

hey i have the same color car but its a z28. i have the berger panel as well and mine is gloss black. i know alot of people say no do the flat black, but in all honestly when the car is cleaned and waxed i just love how the gloss back flows with the rest of the car being shiny.

Definitely get it and go flat black. That looks amazing on pewter or silver.
