I was about to have mine done today by good friend and forum member MrNuke. We didn't have the right length spacers and ran out of time, so we said the heck with it and went to dinner(Good FOOD!). I've forwarded this post to him, THANKS for making it and hopefully a pic of my car will be in here soon. I LOVE how the flush mount lights look.

I got all of the stuff and attempted last night and I am just not digging the weather stripping part of it at all. It just does not look that good with any weather stripping showing. I am probably just going to not do it.

Haha, I was doing the same thing last night Micah. I also backed out when all I could find was that crappy foam weatherstripping (West Ashley Lowes and Home Depot). I went ahead and bought the spacers since they were cheap. If I can find some better weatherstripping I will attempt it at a later date.

I was back and forth from Lowe's and Home Depot and finally got everything I needed and went home and did it. The weather stripping was terrible looking and the look on my car was not all that.

Thats cool, I am still up in the air myself. I think the main reason I want them is to prevent the dirt buildup I get on that ledge everday. It drives me nuts! If you still have them on I will take a look on Saturday.

Good to go!
I LOVE the look! Pics are on the linkpage below. Sort of a step by step. NO WAY I'm ever going back to stock! Thanks MrNuke for the time and for uploading the pics.
