Blacked-Out Tail Light Bezels :: 2010-2013 Camaro

Does anyone have any good pics of the GLOSS black vs the FLAT black tail light bezels on a black Camaro preferably. I'm looking into getting some for my car and unsure on which would be the better one to go with.

Personally I would stay with the factory chrome bezels. Just styling perfection imo.
You have a black Camaro so you will lose a lot of the Camaro character when you
black everything out. Again my opinion, just old school I guess.

I don't have any pictures, but I went with the flat black and couldn't be happier with how it looks. Can't stand chrome

It's all good friend, just stating personal opinion! I think the older crowd is more into the chrome because of the old school cars where it was popular.

For what it's worth, I can't stand Ohio and I wish not to be associated with it one day!

I like glossy myself... Although looking back flat black against the glossy black paint would probably give it a 'lil more pop.

How old do you have to be to be part of "the older crowd"?

This old fat man dislikes chrome and plans to paint match, black out or remove every piece of it from his ride. Eventually.

I'm not a fan of chrome and switched mine to flat black on my 11 CGM. On black though I would probably leave the chrome just because it would lose some detail. But that is my opinion and the OP is the only one that matters.

Same here, though I wore the chrome for like 3yrs. Went black and glad I did.

I went flat black as well. Since my stripes are matte black, I just figured it looked better than gloss.
