I think burger panels look like ******* ****. I see them on peoples cars on here all the time.

It looks lame as hell, it never matches the car. Why in the **** would you paint a well painted body panel with flat paint?

I agree to a certain extent. It looks really good on some cars, others not so much.

When I had a Mustang, I thought it looked good.....I knew nothing about Camaro's then

If you do the Berger mod make sure you do emblems and SS/Brushed Aluminum etc inserts

If your going to keep the smoked tails, then I wouldn't do it. IMO a Berger panel & smoked tails don't look right.
