That looks great, the bezels really do a lot for the new taillights.

I was just checking out the ones on AM. OP they fit in nice with your scheme.

Not to thread-jack, but anyone think these would look good on mine?

Crappy paint mock-up:

I think it would look good. I would definately like to see those on some tail lights that are not tinted. I've been eyeing them since I saw them on AM and I may consider them in the future.

Im not a fan of tail light bezels, but these actually don't look bad, now you just need to finish blacking out your car so it goes with more than just the rear end.

thanks
thanks. Yeah, I agree without the decklid panel, they may look out of place.

Bkamp,

I think those ones from AM would also look good with your black rear panel as long as the bezels are also black. In general, i wonder how these bezels would look matching car factory colors. I used the bezels and the blacked out rear deck to break up the kona blue rear, which i felt was just too much, giving the car a weak definition in the back specially without the rear panel.

I think the bezels round up the tail lights assembly nicely giving it more definition. Post pics should you get em.

Yeah, $100 is a bit much. I'd go black to match the panel. Maybe in the spring...

I haven't looked at the 2010-12 lights that closely, but why not simply take them off the car. Tape them up and cut out the areas that you want black - and spray paint them? It should look like pots #12.

I did that to my 2006 - why spend all that money for plastic to stick on when a can of paint only cost me a couple of bucks.

It's been several years and over 100,000 miles now:




I painted them in 2008 maybe, and here they are this summer

That looks really nice and clean.
