Default ? for people with tail light bezels

I was thinking of getting the matte black tail light bezels from American Muscle.... thought they'd look good with my color 'stang.

I have two questions for people who have them though....

1. Does dirt accumulated in the crevices that the bezel will have when it's on the car? It seems like it would be a little difficult to clean, certainly not as easy as the bare tail lights.

2. I hear some light leaks out around the edges of the bezel, which would look tacky IMO.

Any opinions from owners?

Errrr........ I wish I had Pictures of mine. They look great on my 2010 Grabber Blue. I also have the MMD Blackout pannel in the middle. They look awesome together in my opinion. As far as the light leaking out, well it is so small that you don't notice it unless you look for it. They do not look tacky at all. Two thumbs up, pull the trigger and make the buy.

Paul,

I think they look great and agree that your color will go great with the Matte black. Also, your deck lid panel will also pull the taillight trim together!

1. The taillights will definitely be more difficult to clean then a bare light but they're not hard to clean. From experience with these on our project cars we've never had excessive dirt build up around the taillight trim or anything. Just when you clean the car, spend an extra 5 minutes on the back and you'll be in good shape!

2. With our Taillight trim you won't see any of the taillight. Ours covers 100% of the light!

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance. Our Mustang Experts are here Monday-Friday from 9AM-9PM EST and Saturdays from 9AM-5:30PM EST. If you want to hit them up, their number is 866.727.1266.

Thanks Dan.... I think I'll pull the trigger on it.

Yes I have. Any suggestions for "budget-minded" tinting?
