Default Berger Panel Idea Poll!

Ok, here are my 3 ideas for what I want to do with my Berger Panel. Vote and let me know which you like best if any at all?

Idea #1:
Blanked Gloss Black Berger Panel. No "CAMARO" and no Keyhole

Idea #2:
Smooth out the "CAMARO" and the Keyhole. Add fiberglass to the backside of the panel. Cut the custom "BLACK WIDOW" logo of my car into the panel. Repaint the panel Gloss Black with a Victory Red outline on the lettering. (Lettering will be inlaid the same as the "CAMARO" lettering")

Idea #3:
Smooth out the "CAMARO" and the Keyhole. Add fiberglass to the backside of the panel. Cut the custom "BLACK WIDOW" logo of my car into the panel. Repaint the panel Gloss Black with Victory Red lettering. (Lettering will be inlaid the same as the "CAMARO" lettering")

OR should I just keep it stock and do something with the "CAMARO" letters?

Thanks for the help and input! lol

Definately red outline. Its not tooo bright colored like the red lettering, but its enough to catch the eye and would be different from the typical "camaro" lettering though the inlaid "font" lettering would be the same... I think that would look sweet

just my opinion

I would leave it blank. If you were to do it, use a different color light other than red.

I choose red because it goes with the theme of the car...Nothing else will go along with it...

if it was me (and this is my plan when i paint my car blk/ w red stripes) i would just do something with the camaro letters.

i plan on just leaving them red.

You though may be able to do that black widow thing and make it look dam good.
Its a hard choice....hmm... i vote for the third pic you have.

i dont know if you remember but a dude with a camaro and his buddy that had a firebird both had black cars and both did flat black stripes. i thougth you wouldnt be able to see it but you could and it was all cool & stealth like.

hmm...since you got the whole spider theme going, why not some flat black webs? put those on the tail lights...it would look similar to the honeycomb effect on ws6's. just a thought.

Blank is the way to go or something more subtle. I'm not a fan of naming cars let alone naming them and plastering it on the car unless you go with a 70's style drag car paint job with the name on the side.. lol.

I vote blank it out ... The other options in the poll just seem like too much might be going on. Some of the other ideas mentioned aren't bad either. In the end tho, you're gunna do what you feel fits the car best. You can always try out new things and see where it takes you. ya never know, you might just start a new trend lol

yeah man....may make the hourglass a little bigger. like sinister said - lose the red ss "spidey senses" badge.

can someone photo chop the webs in flat black on the tail lights just so see what that would look like?

edit: just had another idea....what if the webs were on the inside of your covers...then they could only be seen when you hit the brakes!

here is the pic
