Stock for me. Flush just doesn't look right.

flush=ugly as hell just ruins the back of the car.
I personally think the two most dis-tasteful mods for the vette would be flush mount taillights and all that stupid chrome trim and louvers guys put on the back.

At first I liked the recessed look but after about one year of ownership I liked flush due to the elimination of the drip that come out of the recessed lenses. When I switched to LED's I thought about goint back to recessed but just did not like the look.

i flushed mine for a while. i went back to stock because the lenses are actually a bit smaller than the openings at the edge of the bumper so it gave it a gapped look that i didn't care for.

Flush and seal kit!
I used the kit and made mine flush and added the seal kit at the same time. Personally, and that is all I care about, it looks great. I added the sequential turn signal and pulsing third brake light kit also, just wish I could see how cool they are when I am driving
