Quick Berger mod question
Quick Berger mod question I have a buddy who will do the mod for me for cheap as I don't particularly enjoy the idea of sanding and painting it myself, so I was wondering if it's ok to keep that panel off for a few days while he does the work. This is my DD so I need the car and I just want to make sure there's nothing back there that could be harmed if exposed to the elements. I'm at work now and without a 10mm wrench to take it off and check for myself, and if I'm safe then I'm going right to his place after work, so I kinda need to know between now and 4pm lol. Thanks to anyone that can help.
The easiest way to do it (what I did) was to buy a rear panel from a wrecked car and just krylon spray it. That's if you like the matte black look, as it won't be glossy. I didn't want to sand/prep/paint my SOM panel so that's why I went the other route.
Well I want mine to be glossy, which is why I'm having it professionally done. I just went out and took the pass side taillight off, and it looks like the tail should be good bolted up by itself, as the panel only kind of cradles it and doesn't appear to have anything to do with securing the light assembly to the car. So hopefully I won't have any issues.
Too late, already dropped the panel off. I happen to like the mod and don't think it's dumb looking, which is why I'm doing it. If I thought it was dumb looking I wouldn't be doing it ;-)
Anyways, I'm probably one of 3 cars in my entire area with it done, so if anything I'll be the different one ;-)
Also FWIW, the panel doesn't really do anything other than cover the trunk area. The lights are just fine without it, the only thing exposed is the wiring harness. But other than that I shouldn't run in to any problems until I can get the piece back.
