Re: berger back panel....
This is a picture of the front of my car.
I've lowered it and added a rear SS spoiler since the pictures were taken. With the glossy black on the hood, the SLP grill, the mirrors and the top I thought the flat or semi-gloss black panel would look out of place.
I've thought about removing the SLP grill and going with a black tube grill with a 69 Z/28 emblem on it.

Re: berger back panel.... SuperDave479: How hard was it to paint your headlights? Did you get an extra pair, or are those your origionals? Can you post a closeup of the headlight?
Re: berger back panel.... ok, I want to know how you smoothed out the camaro lettering? or did you guys buy it from somewhere like that. What did you use, and how hard was it to smooth out? I want to buy one.
Re: berger back panel.... WOW!!! this appearance mod looks awesome ...props to all of the cars in this thread.
Probably a dumb question, but can anyone tell me what paint they used, how long it took, and any tips on doing this mod?

Re: berger back panel.... ultraz: all I used was a can of bondo body filler, and a lot of sanding!!! I just kept sanding, spray a little primer over it to see if it was all the way smooth and then sand the bad looking areas. Took me off and on of working 2 days.

Re: berger back panel.... I believe the correct color, is "Satin Black" cause I looked on the window sticker of the camaros made by GMMG cause they sell them here in Kennesaw, and it says "Satin Black Berger Panel" on the window sticker. just my .02
Re: berger back panel.... imo, on most color combo's, that looks really sweet. On silver, pewter, red and white i think it makes the rear end that much more appealing seein the "CAMARO" back there filled in.
Re: berger back panel.... I think the flat black looks like ***. I have never liked it on any car, old school included.
I think a gloss black or mid sheen would be the ticket
