That is exactly what I did. I found a gloss black panel on eBay and I got it for $25. For some reason no one ever bid on it because it was from a junk yard but the paint was perfect! no scratches or anything so i lucked out. I have debated on painting it satin but there is really no need too.

And these 18ga 316 Stainless letters are worth every penny! They are beautiful. I'll get some pics up later

I think I will probably do it. I'd like to find a stock black one and try it out, then if I like it paint it satin black.

Hate the Berger and CETA mods, so you can guess what I voted.

I tried it in Photoshop and it didnt' look as good as I thought. The color of the wheels is a bit too light, maybe if they were a darker gray yeah, but in this case I think black looks better thank trying to match the wheels. But yes, that was my first idea.

Arguing what a nice color it is has nothing to with what his theme is and it seems to be a gunmetal accent guessing by the wheels and the dirty exhaust system....jk but you really didn't give it good angle in those shots.

I would only do it if I had an SS spoiler, I think it looks off with a Z28 spoiler.

Would look great with the berger mod...my brother and I just did this to my SS along with the stainless letters and I have to say it came out REALLY sweeeeeeeet...

Worth doing it...I only regret not getting another panel so that if I should get another Camaro later on and sell this one,I would just swap out the panel.

Do it,but get another panel to preserve the SOM one.

PS...I think the tips on your car look awesome (Magnaflows right?),just need a good polishing.
