Default Apperance Overhaul!!!

Well my car is getting some work done this week and I want to know what you guys think of my plans.

1) Center Mount Exhaust from 2002 SLP SS ***retaining borla catback***
2) Berger Panel (gloss black) with Stainless CAMARO insert
3) New paint on front-damn curb -and rear and drivers door

I need to know where I can get a GM SS badge and Chevy badge for the rear....???

On white, if you're set on black, satin on the Berger.

True, but a 'gloss black' Berger panel, is a Berger Panel, only gloss. Kinda like a hugger orange TA, its still a TA even if its a camaro color.

Well, exhaust is on minus the valence which needs to be painted and mounted. It goes in for paint next week, the Panel is going to be gloss to match my calipers, SS grille, and wheels....
