Default Flush rear lights… [pic]

Decided to try to eliminate one of the dirt collectors on the back of my car and move the lights out...

What did you use for a spacer to move the lights out? I think it looks great and would like to do that to mine.

I dont particularly care for the flush light look myself, removes character in my opinion... and I really enjoying wiping dirt off my rear bumper too.

Did you buy a kit or make up one like the posts have shown here on the forum? Looks good, by the way.

I bought the kit!

There was also some weatherstripping stuff included to stop from leaking.

That was my first mod also...love the look...subtle but changes the look of the rear end...West Coast Corvette has the kit on their website for like 30$ or so...it may even be less now.
