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.

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