Default berger panel on black car

I did a search, didn't find anything. Has anyone seen a satin black berger panel on a black car? I've thought about doing it but not quite sure if it would look good and never seen anyone else do it. Definitely subtle, but I think it would be pretty cool too.

Thanks for the input guys, I like it and am definitely considering doing it. BTW, I don't think it looks unfinished at all, especially if you've got stainless inserts and the SS badge on there...those will definitely make it look "finished"
