black or gold....
Hey guys, I'm clearing my corners and painting my bezels today, and was wanting some input on what color to paint them. I'm almost positive I want to do black, but was flirting with the idea of color matching my car... problem is, my car is gold and i'm not sure it would look right to do the bezels gold. I think black would look sweet though. What do you think?

gold car = color match or chrome. black would look bad, IMO.

yeah i figured that, which is why I was thinking about the black. Also I should probably mention that appearance-wise I'm also planning on tinting the windows a bit and getting black rims, which is also why I was thinking black and not chrome.

do you have pics (or links to pics) of the black rims? if it's a black wheel with chrome/polished rim, then the chrome would still look better than black

depending if they are sprayed as a whole vs just the very front surface of the bezel is also a very delicate detail...

haha thank you mr. albinomonkey haha. Yeah I was also debating if I did go black whether to do the whole bezel black or not. I really like the look of -alero-'s car, but mines a little lighter so I'm not sure. I always thought black bezels looked good on lighter color cars like mine, and chrome looks awesome on darker cars, but I've never seen it in person so I don't know haha

either chrome or color match, no black. i'd go to a paint place and have them exact color match your car and mix up a spray can of the color.

leave them chrome and get chrome rims. Oldsman has a gold car with chrome rims and it looks bad ass.....granted he has the OSV rims. But if you get the right rims, lower it and leave the headlights chrome.........it will look bad ass
