Default Cheap Tail light Mod

$3.00 rattle can tail light bezel. Screw paying $40-50 for a piece of plastic. I think it turned out very nice. Masking everything off was the longest part of it.

Looks nice, plus I now know that trekking poles improve stability, and take load off the knees while on the trail.
I went a similar route before I found the bezels I have now, but I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them.

LOL took me a second to figure out what you were talking about... I was like Trekking poles... what the??

I'm not dissing the plastic bezels by any means, they looks sweet and add more of a three dimensional look to the lights. Just didn't want to fork out the cash for them. The set you've got looks really good with your black car.

I was thinking of taking a small paint brush and just painting around and between the lights with black paint. But then I bought the plastic bezels. That paint looks really great. If I had it to do over again I would jsut go the paint route.

That does look nice. I was looking back and forth at the before and afters and I was like, 'Okay... I don't see any difference,' lol. But I see now what you did. I think it looks great.
