What about carbon fiber Berger panels? I kinda like that in some situations. My car's white and I'd like to have carbon fiber accents on it. Not like a hood or anything, but something like a front grille, emblems, and berger in cf would be pretty cool. I've never seen the bergers anywhere in cf, but RK Sport sells a grille.

If you going to do the burger panel, do it right, and paint it satin black the way they came (not flat black, not gloss black) Ive bought an ss panel and plan on painting it this summer.. ID do it if i were you, but Satin Black.. lol
Finally, someone who understands the historical aspect behind painting the tail panel semi black. You're not replicating the look of the GMMG uniquely, you're representing the look of the original car... the original Super Sport.

Send me photos of the '68 and the '70 please... pm sent.

Thanks,
Dan

It's your car, do what makes you happy.

I wouldn't do it myself, however. The Berger panel mod is way overplayed IMO. It's no longer a mod to make you stand out, it's now a mod to blend in with the masses.

I have said it once and I'll say it a million times....I LOVE THE BERGER mod on just about every Camaro I've seen it on! I never get tired of seeing it.

SO I think you know what my vote is....

My SS is dark blue and i did a Berger panel and stripes all in black. Not overpowering but in sun light it stands out a bit. When i get a black SS the panel will be satin black. The Earnhardt SS has the satin black and looks great. I say do it, you can change it latter.
