The pic looks kinda funny. I think it would look killer if he did the decal in a flat black same with the Berger panel.

I say leave it as it is. You will have too many colors going on at once. If you do the BErger panel and the Manta stripe then I would suggest getting some kind of black grille

hmm... I want gloss, so it can match the roof and the rear berger. i dont think the flat looks good on SOM. it looks like someone picked up that piece from a boneyard.

Ahh man. Your car is going to look confused now. I would pick up an extra berger panel to do it with and keep your original one just in case you want to go back. And it's not a 350... it's a 346.
