I did mine with the Home Depot parts list that floats around this forum. It only took about a half hour, I really like the look, and it keeps the rear of your car cleaner... no crap collecting in the light wells. Best of all if you ever change your mind, it's real easy to go back to stock. Have at it!
(6) 1" L X 1/2 W X .194" Hole Size Nylon Spacers
(6) 1/4" L X 1/2" W X .194 Hole Size Nylon Spacers
(8) #8 x 2" Zinc Pan Head Screws
(1) Frost King Rubber Foam Weatherseal 3/8" W X 5/16" Thick x 10' Long (Adheasive backed)(I got the black weather stripping)
Simply unscrew tail lights, clean, put weather stripping around the tail light (where the red casing meets the black casing of the light) insert new screws and spacers on back side, screw back into mounting hole.
-The two center lights get one 1" spacer on each screw.
-The outside lights get three 1/4" spacers on each of the outer most
screw
-The inner screw on the outside most lights get one 1" spacer.
-Fit so the weather stripping looks good and screw them back in!
1" spacers $4.77
1/4 Spacers $3.42
Weather stripping $3.98
Pan head screws $.98

I actually have been keeping an eye out for your car when I'm in NoVa. Distinctive plate, and it was your pics and posts that inspired me to do the flush taillights. So if a NBM coupe ever pulls up next to you and a guy starts waving like a freak, it'll probably be me...

I thought for sure you'd have posted a pic of your GHL's by now...
You seem to be quite proud of them...
