Tail light bezels poll

How do these chrome tail light bezels look to you guys? I thought these would go better with my overall theme then the black ones. Those stock lights need something IMHO, I’m just not 100% sure this is it. These are not in your face like some of the other bezels I have seen. Are they keepers?

Are we casting ballots with aye and nay or what? (Nay)

So you're obviously in a bezel stage with the front and back. I think your car is very sharp looking already. Add too much to the exterior and it'll get cluttered and have that thrown together look. I'd say put some more money under the hood.

Without there being a pole, I'll just say yay on the tail light bezels. In person I'm sure they look more fitting!

I'm undecided as I'm still pondering the idea myself. Which brand is that in those pictures? Great looking car otherwise though.

These are the Street Scene bezels. I like them because they look a lot less clunky then some of the other ones I have seen. These look to me like something they would have done at the factory.

After having them on the car for a couple days I have decided to definitely keep them. In the front I have an aftermarket grille, sides have louvers and mirror inserts, the back needed a little custom touch too and these fit the bill nicely IMHO.

I love the chrome bezels personally. When I got my car, I mulled adding these things for months until I said heck with it and ordered a set. WOW, what a difference! Really dresses up the back of the car. Glad I got a set and wouldn't go back to plain.

I had about dismissed this idea because of the same reason you cited: others I have seen look too big and overdone. These look more tasteful. Do they come in black too?

These are the Street Scene bezels, I do not think they come in black though.

Did you order them direct from Street Scene, or did you go through another web site?

Yes, I give em a Like you said, not too over the top but gives the taillights something. I'm a big proponant of trying to keep an "overall" look to your car, ie: everything needs to compliment the rest. Not just a bunch of appearance products thrown on, so if they fit in with your overall look then they're a plus.

Alright, I'll be the first one to throw down... I say keep 'em. They do add to the look and pickup some of the highlights. I debated and shopped around for quite some time. I opted for "chunky" more 3D looking ones as that was "keeping within my theme" - going for the retro '67 look.

Which ones are these, and where'd you get them?

Thanks,

Yah anyone know if they come in black? I want black bezels on my black beauty . Creates some separation and I think gives it a cleaner look.

So anyone have these in black!?
