Default Body color or black tail light panel? (pics)

Since painting the car DSG, Im thinking maybe the black tail light panel doesnt look as good as it did when the car was silver. Would it look better with it just painted body color? If I do keep it black, should I go gloss, semi or flat? If I keep it, it needs to be repainted cuz when the car got buffed, some of the rubbing compound got on it and will not come off.

Body Color, the whole Berger Panel thing has been overdone in my opinion. Just leave it the stock color and get some inserts for the CAMARO letters.

I'd go with body color if it were me and then black Camaro inserts.

Find a paint guy and have him or her do a fiber graphite paint job and get some inserts.

Either way i would go with chrome inserts(not the stickers).I put them on my wife's Z28 and they look great.I might put them on mine.

on that color, I say go w. the body color and then some chrome letter inserts to set it off, plus it would go good w/ your rims.
