Default Pics: Flushed Tail Lights

I just got the Black Outs flush mounted today and took a couple quick pics.
Not real happy with the fit of the Ecklers black outs when flushed.
They actually looked better recessed because it hid the not so perfect sized issues.
The back-up lights & 3rd. brake light black-outs came from forum member Crazy Cowboy. They fit up really good with just a little trimming to get exact.

Thanks Kurt.
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a quick photo shoot at the station some time with my car?
Bob gave me the idea last weekend at the Corvette Home Coming show in Bowling Green.
Thought it might be pretty cool to have a fire truck and fire station as background props with my car.

Haven't had a chance to get any good pics yet.
I'm going to try to get some decent shots of it next week after Carlisle.
Thanks for asking!

The black-outs look great, but man those flames are incredibly cool - very unique.
