Makes the car look older and more retro, but that's probably the look you are going for. Still, I agree, on a black car, it cuts into the smooth lines a little bit. Would look really good on Silver, or maybe Mineral Grey, and Legend Lime.

Im still not sure if I am a 100% sold on it yet myself....I am trying to get the retro look....they come with two sided 3M tape already on it, just peel the backing and put on, but be careful its pretty sticky and once its on its hard to take back off and so if you put it on crooked you have to yank it back off and it bends them a bit, nothing that cant be fixed, just bend them back but it was very disheartening when I saw it bent, it happened on the left one, but it took only a second to straighten out and reapply and it worked fine.

here is the link were I got them from
http://www.digitalstorefronts.com/store/te...mNum=5049460005
you can also find them on ebay for $8 less but have to pay shipping, to where I am at about $8 the website doesnt charge for shipping and I had them deliver it 2 day fedex which they will do east of the mississippi but not west, the guy I talked to (bob) was kind enough to do so for me but it still didnt make it here in time for the show I was in this weekend, oh well.
they seem like it would be easy enough to paint them or have them powder coated, I think a shiny metalic black would be tight.

They look a whole lot better than others I have seen. I have to say I really think they disrupt the look of the back end. It would look better on a lighter color.
But it's your car and if your happy with it that's all that matters.

Thanks, I might order some and see about painting them. I like the fact that they are one piece!

Like some others have said, they look a lot better than the other bezels that are out there.
I'd consider a pair in black because I have a white car.
EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw the price. That's WAY too much!
