Not sure if there is a smooth bezel, or one that is already available as gloss black?

They should have bezels the same color of your car. If they don't I know that they do custom work as well. (paint it w.e color you want.

Truth.....tried it a couple times like this but I've always had to "fix" or repaint something to make it right after.

Great advice and yes, painting the bezels makes a killer difference! Helps bring out the color of the Fog Halos if you got em too!
