here they are with the lights installed. I'm thinking of scuffing the bezels to give them a flat look as well, what do you guys think? Any feedback is much appreciated.
sorry for the dirt, car has been in the shop for a while.     Another exterior mod in progress, along with 3s-gte swap (which is taking to long  , I want to drive her again!)

Nice work man! Well worth the hard work.
For sure IMO you should brush the bezels, if you could brush them in a circular pattern that would look amazing, Like a watch bezel

I would leave the bezels and paint the lights with gloss black not matt black. (unless you're gonna make the full car matt black that is.)
but looks good mate, looked like you were moulding them out of mashed potato in the first picture haha. |
