I don't personally have one but I think it gives the car a more unique look. Definately stands out but depends on what you have done to your car if it will look good or odd.
Well the original ugly clear plastic one finally crapped out and feel off so anything is better than nothing. Dealer wanted almost $450 for another one. The one I ordered is painted redline and was only $125 plus free shipping...not to bad in my opinion
Are you talking about this one?
This isn't my car, I believe its another members. I just donwload different pictures to get ideas of what I may want to do with my car.

Opps double posted. Dont know how to delete the second one, haha. But yea it looks pretty cool and like I said it stands out. The price isn't bad either. I've been debating getting it or not for my black CTS.
And as for blayne's comment everyone has their own opinion. Some will like it, some will not. The most important thing, and I know blayne has the same poin of view on this, is that you are happy with it and that you like it. If you like it then no one else's opinion should make a difference on how you feel about it.
I myself don't like it. It reminds me of the 80's Camaro, Mustang and Firebird guys with the louvers on the rear windows. It looked horrible. As soon as I saw that bezel I immediately thought of that. Sorry man. It is a great price tho especially if it comes painted.

Absolutely. To each his/her own 100%. That's what makes all of us have different cars. I was just giving my .02 cents. It's a great price and its his style so that's great. I may have rims that others don't like but it's my car. Everyone has their own taste!!!!
I like the louvered bezel. I have been thinking about getting one. But I am going opposite of that picture. I am going to paint the bezel matte black, and leave the lights clear.
What I REALLY want is the Euro-style double projector rear lights. I would have to make both (all four) lenses clear, and still cover it with the flat black louvered bezel. But I want the extra projectors for either a set of rear-facing turn signals/DRL's, or maybe a set of 6k HID "dont ride my ass" lights.
Do you have a picture or a link to the double projector reverse lights? Or is that just a theory or something you want to work on. I think I have an idea of what you are talking about and it seems like a pretty cool idea.
The Euro-spec rear bezel has four projectors, two on each side. Imagine each of your reverse lights cut in half horizontally. The bottom half on each side is reverse lights, the top half is a rear facing red fog light, which is required in some European countries. Here it is without lenses:
I want LED reverse lights in the bottom, and amber LED DRL/turn signals in the top... or, the HID back off lights. I think having hi-beams facing backwards would just get me into trouble, though.

Alright cool, that's interesting! I like the idea of that I have LED reverse lights now and was gonna install some strobes for show so maybe that's where they will go. You have any idea where one could find that bezel?
You can get them from the dealership for the fixed low price of your first born child. No, they are like $600, though. Ebay would probably be your best bet. Or a you-pull-it yard.
