Alright so I've been researching the carbon fiber berger panel. From what I found it sounds like a poor quality product. Still I really really want one and think it would look great on my black SS. (From what I read you thought so as well bryan. Great minds think alike).

I was wandering if anyone has found any better vendors for this product or at least have found a way to be happy with it.

Nope. I already have the carbon fiber grille and it really doesn't look ricey at all. CF can be really good if you don't overdo it. I plan to make CF my second color in the scheme.



That's the grille that was already on my car before it was sold to me. If I would have only heard about it instead of having seen it, I would have requested the stock grille, but it turns out CF blends well with black.

CF Berger Panel

There's the one that I want, but there's a previous post that came up in a search showing that people are having trouble mounting them on the car.

However it appears that it can be made to fit good.

Do that, then get one of the CF SS hoods and paint it so you've got a CF manta, and a CF spoiler to tie in the stripe of the manta.

I'd also recommend using fillins and badges on the berger. That would give the CF a nice understated look.

I like it, w/ chrome inserts. The painted CF hood w/ exposed manta would look SICK! Then a SLP SS grill w/ CF SS emblem, and the centers of my TT II's powdercoated black would finish it off nicely. Plus i have a Black SS, so it would look badass!

Add mental note:
CF berger w/ chrome inserts
SLP grill w/ CF SS emblem
CF hood painted black w/ exposed Manta
Powdercoat TT II's black
