Default Flush tail lights

My C5 has flush tail lights. Looks cool. Can flush tail lights be done on a '92? Is there a kit?

You could do it yourself if you took the tail lights out and sanded down the inside of the bumper that holds the lights in place, then you would need to do some fiberglassing and maybe some painting...

If you can fiberglass and are good at it, I guess it could be done! I wonder how it would look???

Oh, and I have never seen a kit to do this...

I removed the tail lights and went to lowes to purchase some nylon spacers that fit the existing screws. I am happy, but need to bring them out some more. I plan to purchase a few different sizes rather than just guesstimating. Mine are about as far out as possible with the stock screws so that is something to keep in mind as well. Cheap, easy, reversible if needed---good luck

I can, but at the moment I can only tell a difference if I'm parked next to another C4. It is pretty subtle so it may not be noticeable as you hope, but I'll try to snap a pic or two....may be closer to the end of the week b/c I'm pretty slammed with grad school at the moment
