yea, but imo, get rid of pinstripe, it distracts from the natural body lines and when you do berger, go gloss, and put stainless camaro inserts back there..

Photoshop!

I am not that great with it, or I would show you what it would look like. I dont want to ruin your car, lol.

I am going tomorrow to a junk yard to pick up a berger pannel, and I will paint it up and see if I like it or not. That way I wont have to ruin my stock one.

its a toss up i was happy with my fillins but wanted them to match my manta (manta is grey and they were black) so i got them in grey to match the stripe

i just depends on what you like..........i would try to find a cheap one just to practice with and see what you think instead of basicly ruining that ones paint and as you can see if you decide that you DONT like it there are alot of guys that would buy the panel even if it was painted

oh and btw i'll give ya an artic white one.....just for the measly trade of a white CME.....who wants that anyway
