Default pics: berger panel+blackouts+new emblems

lemme know what you guys think of the appearance of the rear end here...i obviously did the berger panel, and then added silver fill ins, a GM Performance badge on the left, and a 3rd gen 2-tone silver Z28 emblem onthe right.

before...



after...



the quality of the panel isnt the way i ant it, so im thinkin about getting the CAMARO section filled in and smoothed out, and professionaly painted for $75.....should i do that or just leave it how it is?

IMO if your going to use the blackouts on there make the panel a gloss black so they blend more..

This is the idea I thought about doing when I had the blackouts on my car with the berger panel.. Getting the bottom of the hatch painted black as well.

I dont like that bumper or ANY ground effects looks too cheesy, but the berger panel looks fantastic!

i started to take my ground effects off last week. i took the side skirts of and saw that the hangers were rivetted to the rocker panel, so if i removed the body kit, i'd hafta get the holes filled in smoother out, and repainted, and i just dont have $ for that right now. but i know, the ground efects are a little much, and my car should go to hell for it right?

I like the kit. I thinks it looks good. The Berger panel is badass too. Great job. I wouldn't change a thing.

Gloss the panel but don't blend the panel and lights out evenly like in the pic 2k2 Camaro posted. I think it looks much better with the gloss panel and the gloss lights. That is how I have it. However, I would ditch the ground effects for a CME, SLP Dual tips and an SS spoiler with blacked out LED, kind of costly but with the Berger panel and blackouts it will make your car have the sexiest *** ever. I often catch myself checking out my car more than my gf...have to watch myself.
