hey guys and gals,

just thought I'd share. I really like the subtle enhancement of black bezels.

Subtle Details

Outstanding choice.

I installed the same bezel mod. It's a subtle mod, but it brings out the detail in the rear of your Candy Apple Red Mustang. All of the other black bezels are too bulky and bring too much attention to the tail lights. The thin bezels just bring the rear into focus, like putting polish on a car for the final shine. Nice touch. The rear of your car looks visually balanced. When you upgrade your exhaust, it'll be hard not to just say wow.

The stripes, GT500 spoiler, and bezel really make the rear of your GT/CS look good. I like it even more than mine.

I've been wanting to get those as well, because all the other bezels out there don't line up with the honeycomb tail panel right. But most places have been about $60. I see they're slowly getting cheaper, but I think I'll still wait a while.

I guess he didn't post it on this board. He bought them on eBay.

hey, thanks a lot for the kind words! I always try to do well balanced mods without putting my car "over the top". Black accents are hard to overdo. They are subtle, yet effective.

these were only $36 + $8 shipping on Ebay. Great mod for the money!

Those were the ones I saw when I searched eBay. Now the thing is, how long can I go before I order a set They definitly look like they help complete the tail section without going overboard.

I went with these, I think they look great. Well they were the smoked acrylic when I got them, then I scuffed and painted flat black. I loved them before I got the SHR panel but with I think it fills out the back end nicely.

those work well with your SHR panel.

They are a little too much for the look I'm going for. I already have 11" wide stripes so I think those might be a little overkill in my case.

Looks good with your setup, though.
