Im not really a fan of the berger panel, why go with the clear lenses if you're going for the all black look? Other than that, it is pretty clean I guess.

I like the berger panel because it is different, it was on the car when I got it and I did not really like it either, but it has grown on me. I think the clear lenses give the car a more clean look than the blacked out ones, JMO.

I agree.. Clear side markers stand out way to much on a black car... I woudl do smoked lenses front and side.. Also are the wheels powdercoated?

But you have blacked out tail lights? Makes no sense to me but it's your car, if you like it stick with it.

How did you black the wheels?

Were they chrome or painted originally?

I like 'em!

berger mod looks pointless, get some black rims with polished lips, do the whistler mod, get some black corners up front and in the rear IMO, other than that it looks good

The clear side markers / flat berger panel don't really flow well but other than that I like it a lot. Not sure I've ever seen black 10 spokes on a black camaro.

Car would be perfect if the tail lights were not blacked out.

Then I could look just like every other black car on this board.

I just sanded, primered, taped off and sprayed the wheels. They are not powder coated.

Thanks for all the compliments.
