    I pulled the 70 out of the shop today for the first time since Round-up and gave her a bath....any who, I've had these bezels and havn't got around to mounting them...they are a brushed aluminum look and I don't think they look just right.
    I was thinking of having them powder coated to near chrome or I could try a few different colors before I do that... what do ya'll think.

    Hi Rick!

    I would think a nice shiney chrome, but you may try the tail panel blue first .... :2cents:

    Since the sheen does not match anything else on the car, brightwork wise. I would get them chromed.

    Chrome or the same color as the car would be my thoughts.

    With the shiny bumper and gas cap that satin doesn't look right. I would go shiny!

    Well Seth...besides myself, your the only person that likes em like they are.
    I was checking the fit and my wife looked at them and said...your not puttin them on there are you?:hmmm: (you know there's a prob when the wife don't like it)...Uh..well I WAS until now and everyone I've asked about it since says chrome or panel color. It's a nice clean look going panel color and you can't go wrong with chrome...quite a dilemna:90:
