Rear filler panel
You know ive been wondering for the longest time, what is with 4th gen camaro's having the rear "camaro" panel painted a diff. color?
It looks good on most of them, but im wondering what got that fad started?
I was thinking about powdercoating my zr1's black and doing that rear panel in black, but idk if it'd be worth it being that my car is a racecar and will never be a showcar.
Does anybody think that would look good on my car?

ya, it's called the berger panel since the special edition "berger" camaro had this panel filled in.
I'm personally a sucker for blacked out wheels and a berger panel if it's done right and matches the rest of the car. sometimes like said, it doesn't always work out
like my old one:

I'm a fan of the berger panel too, that's why i have one on my car 
Not knocking Cox's, but the correct way to do it is in a satin finish, as that's the way the Berger cars were. It's all just a matter of personal taste though, some people like it better in a gloss finish.
