Gloss black sounds good. Whatever you've got going on now - is that a flat gray or flat basecoat? Whatever it is it looks bad.

i would loose the tips, maybe dump off the pipes over the rear axle, thats what i did, you cant see em. the gloss black berger would be cool, but i wouldnt put the tail light covers on, add a SS spoiler and youl be good to go. in my opinion.

My only suggestion is that the sidereflector on the bumper looks kind of dumb painted black or purple. I'd have a red one reinstalled.

Don't redo the berger mod. I think the mod in itself looks like ****. Paint it back to the original color and put some inserts in it.

I like the gloss black berger panels. I think they look more finished IMO. I have some corsa clones for sale if your interested They are polished stainless. 2 1/2 in dual 3 1/2 out. PM me if your interested pics available.

Definitely try to match the glossiness of the berger to the wheels. Add stainless inserts (which would match the lip on the wheels) and it will look a lot nicer and better thought out.

I would say a berger, switch to dumps, SS spoiler (LT1), and then get the chrome CAMARO lettering. Don't do tail light covers.

That's what I would do, I think.
