What color bezels should I go with.
I have a 2012 SIM 2ls with the black steelies, black autotrim faded gills, and gloss black bowties.
Can't decide wheather to go with gloss black or satin black tail light bezels.
I'll be ordering them from rpi.

If you have matte stripes matte bezels will look much better IMO. I'm also doing this soon and want to try plastidip on them so I can decide weather or not I like the matte look, and remove it if I dont.

Fiigy, I think you're better off painting them yourself. I liked my matte black plastidip bezels but got bored of them, so I tinted lights and removed p-dip.

I agree paint them yourself. It is actually very easy and a hell of a lot cheaper. Look on the DIY for tips. The bezels actually come off very easy. I took mine off with out removing the black covers and squeezing my hand through. Just use a thin screwdriver or butter knife and put a thin towel around and slowly pry it off then move a little and repeat. Mine came off very easy.
