where to buy berger panel

[sstud]

hey i have a 35th anniversary ss and im looking to buy the berger panel...im having a little trouble finding them but can anyone give me a direct link to the panel? thanks

[Y2KPewterSS]

Its much easier to find the panel at a salvage yard and have it painted satin or flat black yourself. I know of someone that picked up an onyx black one and used it, and it looks fantastic on his red SS. To my knowledge, there really isn't a site that you can buy the panel from.

[9t8z28]

If your lucky, you can find one for about $60 to $75. Shipping is gonna run ya about $20 to $30 now that UPS lowered there shipping costs. I just sold one and it was a biotch to package so it wouldn't break. You could try EBAY.

[ProwlerZ]

For the professional replica, get a hold of a spare panel, have it painted flat black and cleared over with double coats. Then locate one of the sponsors selling the stainless steel "Camaro" inserts that make the panel flush.

Just don't put a GMMG or a Berger emblem on it, please.

Another option, since you have a 35th anni.: GMMG will still mod the 35th package SS for any of the 3 stages, contact Matt, he's still got all of the pieces laying around to do it. You can immediately increase the value of your car!

True dat. :yup:

[thelastz28]

Find a used one or paint over your stock one.

Thanks dude, i would suggest the same and try to find an OEM piece so you know it will match the rest of your black. This one kinda fell in my lap and is one of my best bang for the buck investments.

[SSwt00SS]

[9t8z28]

Has anybody filled in the CAMARO letters and put an "SS" emblem in the middle..

[Y2KPewterSS]

This is what my buddy did to his:

That looks awesome! Do you have a center pic from the back?

Thats the best rear pic I currently have :(

[9t8z28]

Damn! I just sold my red taillight panel. I'd like to do that with "SS" in the center.

[Y2KPewterSS]

Damn! I just sold my red taillight panel. I'd like to do that with "SS" in the center.

It looks pretty sexy, pic up another panel and do it :yup:

[9t8z28]

I think I will. I was never a big fan of the ressed CAMARO letters.

[Y2KPewterSS]

I think I will. I was never a big fan of the ressed CAMARO letters.

They look awful that way, I totally agree with your opinion.

[SSTODD]

I just got my onyx black panel and am getting the SS in the center as soon as I get it smoothed over. I have the billet black grille with the 69 SS in the middle so I want the back to look retro also. I will get pics after I'm done

Are you gonna go with a 60's style badge or a late model badge. I had 69 Chevelle style(chrome and white) "SS" badges on my 97SS in the grill. Well it did not have a grill, but you know what I mean. It look real nostalgic.

[SSTODD]

Yes it will be old style (see avatar photo) so it will match the grille. white letter inset oem emblem from NPD.

69 "SS" 396 Chevelle badges

[sstud]

thanks guys i appreciate all the help...im in the process of buying one off ebay..im going to do flat black on the panel and the mirrors as well...i love the red on the car but i think that the black mirrors and rear panel will be a very nice looking addition to the car

[OnEbAdReDSS]

GOT MY BERGER PANEL ON LAST NIGHT... IT LOOKS SWEEEEET! now i just have to wash the out side of the car... it looks tacky... after i wash the car and dry it off on a DRY DAY in Washington... i will post pics! Thanks everyone who helped me! IT LOOKS GREAT!

[9t8z28]

Hurry up! I am anxious to see it! Did you do anything different besides paint it black? Did you reattach the SS and BOWTIE emblems?

[OnEbAdReDSS]

I just buffed it out... I just ordered the chrome inserts.. I am not gunna put the ss thing back on soo...

[GungHoPopsicle]

I haven't read through all the replies, but am I the only one who thinks the Berger panel doesn't look good (assuming it's black and the car itself is a different color)?

[OnEbAdReDSS]

i think it looks sexy the minute i put it up to the car! AHHH I LOVE IT!

[Y2KPewterSS]

You are in a very small minority if you aren't a fan of the Berger panel. Its one of the most popular appearance mods for the Camaro :)

[OnEbAdReDSS]

agree... everyone likes it but my dad... he says i look like i got in an accident... was a dick..

[socmninja]

WTF? How come noone has said anything about this yet. The picture of the maroon camaro with the panel letters filled in was an SS! Why did it have an old Z emblem?

[SSTODD]

Because the plate says Z also, he is someone with the spoiler but knows it is still a Z.

Its a Z28 with an OEM SS spoiler. :)

[socmninja]

Its a Z28 with an OEM SS spoiler. :)

Okay, IMO ya just have to make your mind up about stuff like that. Z or SS, not both. Doesn't that just drive you crazy when people do that. It's almost like when people put Z28 emblems on their third gen RS's just because they had V8's. Not the same to me, just say no

Its not both. It says Z28 only. Having an "SS" Spoiler does not make it a
Z28/SS. Besides, IMO every base model should get ride of the flat spoiler. There fugly!

I am not sure what you are talking about. The car is my best friends, not mine and its badged correctly. The flat Z28 spoiler isn't attractive, nothing wrong with putting an OEM SS spoiler on there. The only thing that would bother me is if someone cloned their Z28 to be an SS and tried to con a potential buyer into believing it was an authentic SS. I personally don't care otherwise what someone wants to do to their car, its their money, not mine and their decision making won't affect me personally. Who really cares how someone chooses to spend their money on modding their car. I am not some form of governing body that says what you can and can't do to your car. I like to see some diversity honestly. Just my .02 :flex:

[SSTODD]

:yup: As long as your calling it what it really is, no harm no foul.

[socmninja]

I'm just sayin,
BTW does he have the SS hood or just rear spoiler? If it's just the spoiler it's good but if he bought a hood too. Why didn't he just buy an SS if that's what he wanted?

No SS hood. He is planning to put a VFN cowl hood on there :flex:

He is a Z28 fan as opposed to SS, also into the retro theme, hence the retro emblem etc. The car has manual everything, the only options it has is leather seats and CD player I believe. Its a 3300 pound car :yup:

i'm looking at one SS wanna-be right now... the guy swears its an SS. i did a vehicle build check on it and its a Z28. i printed it and showed him and he still says its an SS. but he's selling it for cheap so i dont think i'll care. i'll just buy some fishing line to get them badges off and revive the Z28. i know it aint gonna go to barret-jackson, but its out of respect of the car's history.

You are talking about the Performance Edition there are only 50 number's and its done.

I don't know if they make overlays with the "SS" insignia on it, but bfranker.com makes the "SS" & "BOWTIE" emblems to go on the overlays.
