That looks awesome!

I didn't know your car was black; have you wondered if a silver panel with black lettering would look even better?

No I never really thought about it. I may give it a try since I now have another panel, if I get the drive and time to do it again that is. Thanks, I'm really happy with how it turned out. For a cheap plug Brent did an awesome job helping me design the stencil and making it for me. Thanks again Brent!

Berger Panel is a sweet mod to some cars, especially silver. I got a ton of pics if anyone needs, PM me.

One of the only silver on black i've seen, not a fan.

Yeah thats the only one I know as well. That car has a STS Turbo on it IIRC.

I don't like it, looks like you wrecked it and got the part out of a junk yard.

Which one? Mine or the silver panel? I'm not really a fan of the silver now that I see it.

No not yet. Once I get all of the big stuff done I'll do the windows.

Ew. I don't like silver panel suggestion anymore after seeing that pic. I bet a chrome one if you have chrome wheels would look awesome though. Otherwise, I'd probably just stick with the black one.

I think it would look better with an original "Camaro" emblem, imo. But still nice job.

I really like it. When I saw the pic of the panel by itself I wasn't sure, but now that I've seen it on the car it looks great.

How did you fill in the Camaro lettering?

Re: Berger panel.....kind of

Thanks for the comments first of all!

I used a product called Fusor T10. Basically its a more workable fiberglass medium, like resin. A two part epoxy that you heat up to cure. I ground down the lettering a little to get it to stick, filled it with T10, sand, glaze coat of filler, sand, prime, paint. From the looks of the panel any filler would work to do it, but I would chose a fiberglass based one since they are a little stiffer and build a lot better. I actually did all of the bodywork on my luch hour at work. Not hard at all!
