I think in that place it will interfere with access to your spare tire, (if you have one).

They will therfore have to be pushed outward toward the 1/4 pannels.

Other than the spare tire issue I think it looks great!!!!!

I like it. The tips carry over the round theme from the tail lights well and the rolled edges raise the quality up a notch.
