Life is simpler if you buy 2 extra 1" spacers, and cut 1/4" off with Dremel, or hacksaw. Then you are not fighting three pieces when you want to take out your lights, for detailing or whatever. Then 8 screws, 8 spacers.
The outer shorter ones are easy to spot, but to make it ever easier, I sprayed the two outer spacers with some enamel paint I had in the garage, to really be able to tell the difference, when working with them.
AND, you saved $1.83.

Not too hard now that you've completed the mod, huh?

I also include gloss black screw covers that really add to the black lights when they're flush mounted.









Yes!! Please provide your parts list and installation method. Definately like this flush look!!
