he asked for opinions on how it looked...NOT, hey guys is this panel on the back of my car, that i just painted black, called a berger panel??

the panel itself is refered to as a berger panel b/c of what the company did to some camaros! when he askes what we think about the outcome, dont get on here and try to tell him thats not a berger panel b/c its not a flat or semi-gloss black!!

Thats just an ******* thing to do!

Looks great man! That is the first gloss one I have seen, and frankly, I like it better than the original bergers. Good work!

Ya see, heres the thing. . . I said it looked nice, not to be nice, but because he's done a fine job with it. NOW, to allow someone to continue calling something wrong is NOT nice. It is NOT a Berger panel, as GM (the company that made them. . ) calls it a "Panel R/End FIN (short for finishing)" and other documents from GM calls it a Rear Filler Panel. Notice in neither of these names did you see "Berger".

Ignorance is simply not knowing, stupidity is a poor ability to understand or profit (learn) from experience.

Which are you?

Damn, did it really take you that long to think that up....well if you didnt notice we already past the fact that you are an ***. and we have moved on back to the topic of the thread!

which is how badass his berger panel looks!!! so if you dont like it being called a berger panel from every other person on this thread, then just hit that little button at the top of your screen that says back, and have a good day!
thanks
