Stock or Flush Tail Lights?
I am thinking about doing the flush tail light mod. What is your preference and why?

I prefer the recessed look of stock taillights.

I flushed my lenses last June, but I like the sunk-in look better, even though they do stay cleaner, or you cannot see the dirt in the valleys of the bumper anymore. Some of my cooworkers, and friends tought that the flushed look of the lenses was a bit more exotic looking, but I ended up taking them off a few weeks ago.

Sure, you'll get a little dust on the ledge under the lense, just like you do under the license plate! It ain't that big a deal!

I like this much more than flush, but I still prefer the recessed look! I may try to find a place between yours and stock.

I bought the kit a few months ago and got done with 1 side and then put it back to stock, Stock looks much better than using the spacers they sell.

I personally prefer the recessed look. It's your car, do what you like. You can always easily change it back if you decide you don't like it.
