Painted calipers, and I think the berger panel looks dead sexy on SOM cars.

The SS is already a beautiful car, you won't need much.

always been a fan of the hockey stripes on the side,or a new front grille, or the dacal that inlays inside the hood scoop area, doing CAMARO in black on the back bumper...but please dont do the berger panel, looks awful...maybe some rims, lower it, window tint, exhaust tips...just a few ideas lol

IMO black looks better on a SOM car Vs Chrome billet.
