Chrome Taillight Bezels - Yes or No?
In good ol' LEO_06GT fashion, I'm going to do a poll on whether my car looks good with chrome taillight bezels, or not.
Originally, I bought a set made by V-Tech and they didn't fit right at all and they hit the bumper cover in the corners. This was unfortunate, because I really did like the look. I just got these from American Muscle today and wanted to get some opinions.
They fit perfectly, not at all like the V-Tech brand. They are thinner than the V-Techs and that's why they don't hit the bumper at the corners.
That said, I think they are very tasteful and really add to the retro look without adding any bling (plus they don't stand out as much on a white car). Here are several angles and a few with one on and one off. They are just laying in place, so they aren't on correctly and may look like they are crooked:

No, Tom No. Anyone that tell's you other wise is trying to elminate some compition at the next show. Like I said on the other thread black would look better and match your SHR panel.
Unless you plan on adding the following I'd take it off.

Not a fan of the tail light or fog light bezels. I have tried them both and sold them. If you like them on your car then that's all that matters. I voted no~

Thanks for all the opinions. I voted yes because there are several things on the car that they match - rear center medallion, exhaust tips (when clean), polished ring on the rims, etc.
Eventually, if given enough time, I think this poll would go to 50-50 because it basically comes down to personal opinion. They aren't wrong or right, good or bad... luckily we're all different.
Now, if I asked if I should put an 8" lift kit on the car, I think the poll would be a little 1-sided.

I originally bought mine with the intention of painting them black. After I test fitted them before paint, my family all loved them chrome. I installed them chrome and I've had alot of nice compliments on them. I still kinda wish mine were black, but I voted yes.

Me like!
I have them on my car too and love how they look! My sister got some for her car too after seeing mine! I agree though on an earlier comment, they are not for every car, I have seen them on certain colors that just don't look right... But I like them on your ride!

Please don't. Your car is my favorite Performance White. I love the simple contrast of the white and black along with the red interior accents. The chrome trim just doesn't look like it belongs on your car.
p.s. If I see 'em next weekend I'm gonna steal 'em and then hide 'em.
