Well seeing you already have a black silver theme going, I think it would look good. Course Im baised because i already have done it to my car. If you are curious if it will look good though, Im sure youll find someone on here with a silver car with a black berger panel to give you an idea how it would look. Also, if I did it I would go with glossy black.
I just did my Z-28, mine is silver as well.. I was debating it as you are at first but now that it's done I'm glad cause it looks amazing! I think your car would look awesome with the Berger panel.... Just my .02

it's a go then.....i'll post up some pics when i'm done. i think im gonna put silver CAMARO inserts in there with maybe a HURST emblem on the left side and an LS1 emblem on the right? i tihnk the hurst emblems looks pretty darn good!
Glad you decided to go ahead with it. I think you'll like how it accents your car. Put the stainless camaro inserts on it, and your choice of emblems for the left and right side sounds good. If you think that you will want to go back to your factory silver panel one day, do what I did. Buy an extra panel at a salvage yard, and paint it and keep your original one.
I have almost the exact same car, and I went back and forth quite a few times about whether I wanted to do it or not. Eventually, I went back to my initial reaction to it, which is that it looks like I was too broke to get the panel painted after someone rear ended me.
