Tail-light bezels on a Black Camaro? Suggestions needed.
I want to change my tail-light bezels. Or change the color rather.
What color should I get my tail light bezels painted? I think flat black would be too much of a contrast. I think body-color gloss black would blend in too much. What should I do? Help needed. PICTURES would be appreciated highly.

I used plasti dip on mine. It looks matte black. Gloss probably looks better. Here is a couple pics.

Do you plan on any stripes? If so what color? What ever color you choose is what you should paint them. Just my opinion.

I plasti dipped mine. It's so easy to do and looks great! The contrast is barely noticeable. They justo blend in. I say do it.

I painted mine black as well. IMO it looks way much better with the bezels black.
The chrome ones was out of place on the IMHO. |

The Matte (plasti dip) bezels help to accent the rear diffuser pretty well. Should've came that way from the factory. Chrome is for 80's Cadillacs.

I know I'll be the minority on here but I like mine the way they are. With my tailights blacked out, it really makes them stand out. I'll post pics up in a bit.

Understanding that you have put some thought into this mod, are you sure that you want to risk getting rearended ? No insult intended...

He's not blacking out the tail lights. Blacking out the area around the tail lights.
