Thanks for all the replies everyone! I decided to go with flat black. Was meaning to do this with my 2011 Summit White Camaro, but now have a 2010 Black Camaro. I ordered the flat black and I agree it would pop out more. Looking forward to the change. Will keep the chrome ones if I ever decide to switch back.

But I agree with you haha. Something about it I just don't like. I'd much rather be paint matched/blacked out, even if it is the more common way of going.

Matt Black Bezels or chrome Bezels. Also put the matte black around the back up led lights.

The black bezels are fine, if that's what your into. But if you are gonna black out the middle trunk bring the paint down onto the bumper, to the bottom of the tail light cut outs. Otherwise the black strip looks too thin. I've seen a few that way and it looks proper considering the height of the rear end.

Yeah, I'm old school so I like chrome ... looks good with the blacked out bowtie. What about carbon fiber ... other than the fact that you need deep pockets.

I like the idea of the black bezels, but if you have the GFX you also have chrome bezels around the exhaust outlets. I don't want to paint those, and the exhaust tips are chrome. In my limited example, I might have to stay with the chrome.

I have flat black taillight bezels and the gm gfx. in this video you can see the exhaust tips are gloss black. the bezels are going to be painted flat black and eventually the tips and calipers will be painted an accent color that has yet to be determined.

I received my bezels a few days ago and have them installed on the car already. Looks great! Will post pics once the weather clears up some and the car is washed up.

How do you remove the tail light bezels ? Do they just pop off? Thanks
