Default Berger pannel input needed!
I want to do the berger mod to my SS.

I know how to do it.. But I just dont know what I want.

IDK if I want flat or satin/gloss black. I also dont know if I want to fill the "CAMARO" letters in on the back either.

What should I do?

- Flat black and keep engraved letters
- Flat black and fill the letters in
- Satin/gloss black and keep engraved letters
- Satin/gloss black and fill the letters in

Heres what it looks like right now.

I'm in the same predicament. I'm thinking gloss black on mine with red letter inserts. I'm going to go and pull one off of a wrecked black camaro and see if I like it or not.

I would do gloss black to match top of car and stainless inserts. Flat looks unfinished IMO.

I like it how it is, but if I had to pick I'd say gloss black with your letters
