I have liked the way it looks on other Camaros but it just doesn't look right on yours.

That's a very weak analogy. Aftermarket wheels come in dozens, if not hundreds, of models. With the Berger mod, they all look the same unless you want to get really technical and point out some go flat black and some go with gloss black.

It's his car, he can do what makes him happy. The OP is soliciting opinions.

berger panles are apearance mods... just like wheels or short antenas or grills or hood scoops.....

I just dont know why you would say they are played out. in poor taste maybe... but "played out"?

You are not picking up what I am putting down.

Berger panels all look the same, thus comparing that mod to the general idea of getting aftermarket wheels... which have many, many different looking varieties, is not a good comparison. Kapish?

Played out = too many people have them. It is an OLD idea and NOT a rare mod anymore.

From the Urban Dictionary. First definition that comes up:
played out
when someone/something is used too much; everyone has it

I'm totally calm. Honestly, you didn't come across as ******' with me, you came across as dense.

Yeah, I just saw the movie "Adventureland". One of the dudes in the movie had a shirt with "kapish" on it so that was on my mind. Otherwise, I'd say the same.. hadn't heard it in years.

red fer sur, the black just doesnt seem to fit. Although you could check out Sommer86's camaro, hes got the red and black going and looks pretty nasty. black wheels, berger, manta, splitters, on a red car.

My wife drives an LE and IMHO I say leave it an LE. Why own an LE if your gonna mod it to look like something else. Leave the car the way its supposed to and find another insignificant car like a Z28 to modify. I have a Z and did all my little tweaks cause its not hurting its value. The LE is a collectors.
