Well not neccessarily. He might want another panel for cheap that he can paint the way he wants...whether that be satin or gloss and be able to replace the stock panel with the painted one.

he was askin if anyone sold a berger panel. berger means that its already painted flat or satin black. thats what makes it a "berger" panel. otherwise its just a plain ole rear panel i guess.

I have not seen any places that sell the panels ready to install out the door. But you can buy the panel new for $100, and have it painted for $50 "satin black" add emblems and you have your "Berger panel" for $200 or a little under.

Here is my completed rear tail panel, w\ hi-polished letters, Red Bowtie, HP decal, and GMMG badge.

Yeah, that's what I did...bought a silver panel for 75 bucks and got it painted glossy black (to match my roof) for 125. Still waiting to decide if I want stainless inserts or white...hmmmm.

sail panel? this isn't a sail panel, the sail panel is the roof panel. im not sure what this is, i guess you'd just call it rear panel.

I ordered mine from GMpartsdirect.com, or you can get one from one of the sponsor dealerships on the site. Check your local dealership as well.
