Default Paint hatch w berger panel?

I was thinking it would look good to paint the bottom of the hatch black to match a berger panel. Just so the black extends to the top of the tail lights. I like berger panels, but think it would look good w/out the lights sticking over the top of it. The old bergers and other muscle cars with this treatment tipically surrounded the taillights w black, right?

Has any one done this (there has gotta be, right?)?
Anyone out there w photoshop skills want to experiment?
Anyone have pics of a monterey maroon car w/ a berger panel?

Thanks in advance-Shaun-

P.S. If this has been covered b4 let me know w/ a link please.

I don't think it has been covered but I have seen it suggested. I couldn't even tell you where to begin to look on the forum unless you do a search under berger panel. I think there have been a couple off photoshops of this. IMHO, it kinda loses its flow when you extend it to the hatch but again that it just my opinion.

By the way do you have anymore pics of your car?

i've seen a pic of someone on here who did a photshop of it, and had the tail lights blacked out so everything was black back there, looked real good.

K9 pusher - I am not much of a photo guy, but i have a few pics here: http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/subtlez28/ only the track pics are after the koni-lower perch/hose mod drop. I need to clean it up and get some GOOD pics, but I do dig the action shots.

Anyone know were to find some photoshops of this idea?

+1 My body shop guy wanted to do it just like that when he painted my rear panel. I wasn't sure how it would look. I too would love to see a photo shop!

I have a gloss black panel coming via Ebay...I think I may find some black vinal decal to apply to the hatch to test out the look b4 I commit to paint. I'm also giong to evaluate the gloss black and decide if I'm going to go satin instead. What do u think on the gloss vs satin black issue on a MMM car?
