Tail Light Bezels

I've been searching the forums but didn't find what I was looking for. My question what types of tail light bezels are there? And who sells them? I know theres the thick black ones, but I also remember seeing some "new" ones which we're thin and came in different colors(prefferably black).

Any help appreiciated. Thanks

See I have a glossy blackout panel. I wonder if the bigger Moss bezel will look good with it. That large bezel doesn't seem to have any gloss look. Any tips?

+1 on seeing that thinger one on a car... Decisions decisions...

I have the AVS bezels and I toned mine down with flat black trim paint to get away from the shiny and transparent look they have out of the package.

The ones I've seen so far are like plastic/flat black. Did you spray a gloss finisher on those bezels?

And the think ones wouldldn't look bad in black. The color options are a joke.

But if Im going to pay 50+ for something bearly noticable might as well have soemthing which stands out some like the thicker ones.

I currently have the Xenon Mods rear panel. I have simply added some 3M stripping between the tail lights on the vertical divider around the center light of each lens. It was a $2 mod, has been on for 20+ car washes, gives a subtle separation of the tail lights, and is easily removed if desired. The molding is a rounded rubber style (looks plastic) with a hollow core. It has adhesive backed surface and installs in seconds.

Or a semi-flat black rattle can of Krylon or Rustoleum will do the trick. Not bad for $5 and about 45 minutes of my time. Here's mine.

Nope, no spray on the bezels. They are straight out of the package. Yes, they are a smoked acrylic, but, as soon as you get them up against the lenses, they black out just fine. Same with the glossy panel. If you are putting it against a dark color, it blacks out just fine. Lighter color cars, you would probably want to shoot the back of it with some black krylon....

I see, thanks Mike. I may spray paint the tail light outline to get a feel of how I like the look. Im also short on cash just bought those SHR Louvers. But I may buy those moss bezels if I want a more noticable look.
