Forgive me, I forgot to answer about the tailight bezels. They are chromed pot metal. I have seen them painted body color, and black. There is no way to polish them once the chrome starts to go. However, even faded chrome looks better than painted once you redo the black stripe, in my opinion. People tell me mine are not bad, and from 20 feet that's true. But at some point I'm going to bite the bullet and rechrome the bumpers and bezels (long way off for that, though). I do have repro door handles on the way, and I just picked up a 28,000 mile grill that is pretty sweet (paid top dollar, though). Thankfully the window pillar and windshield / back glass trim is stainless on these cars.
