Put my blackouts (Black10) on and Painted the bezels. Black bowties too.

For the bowties, i went to walmart and bought some vinyl. Was easy as hell to put on. Just make sure you got a sharp razor.

So i bought my blackouts from Black10. Fast shipping!

They were cake to put on.....a hair drier is your friend when doing this!

I only have 1 tiny mess up where the tint got wrinkled. But you cant see it unless you are looking right at it. And you cannot see it in the pics. Its in the corner almost covered by the bezel.... I also had a few bubbles that i couldnt get out. But i left the car in the sun and it dried those right up!

I painted the Bezels myself. Sanded with fine grade, applied 3 coats of a clear primer, applied 4 light coats of flat black....didnt clear coat them cause i wanted the flat black look. The rustoleum says it doesnt chip or fade....so i think im good to go!

The paint job only cost be 10 bucks! So you can either go spend tons of cash on new bezels or go to auto store and take 3 hours and do it yourself!

Only issue i had with the paint was after i put on the first coat, i realized it was a dusty day and i had dust all in the paint....had to sand down and re do that coat in my garage. No biggie.
