Carbon-Look Headlight Bezel
I have been searching in vain for carbon-fiber look headlight bezels for my 2001.
Considering that there is seemingly a real or carbon look part for just about everything on the Vette, I find it hard to believe these do not exist.
I stumbled upon someone selling a chrome cover (which I don't want) and it appears to be on top of the carbon-fiber type of bezel I am looking for (but alas, they don't sell it):
Any suggestions?

What is this witchcraft?!?!
Looks like about $100 for a kit online, wonder how it would work on a surface like this though since it has 90o bends. In the youtubes they are usually dipping relatively flat faced items. Will definitely research though, thanks!

I thought about the same thing when I installed my ACA HID headlights. Then I thought that no one would really see the bezel since it would be a night when the lights were up.
However, if I came across a nice looking CF set at a reasonable price, I would probably give them a try.

After all, how often do you pop open your hood compared to raising your headlights? Real reason is embarrassing though... woman "cleaned up" when I had the part sitting on the kitchen chair, and its vanished (possibly intentionally, or I'll find it in the back of some cabinet in the living room two years from now, heh).
Figured it was as good an excuse as any to upgrade from the cheap looking plastic if something were available and reasonably priced.
