gotta admit for less than three dollars they sure do add to the look....
WHAT am I missing here? Aren't the screw heads recessed???

Chasboy, I can only speak for myself, but yes the screws are recessed, but when I looked at the photos in this thread I liked the look of the caps. made the tail lights look finished. I'm not one to customize the mechanical s of my vette, but I like to do small things like screw caps on the license plate, custom valve covers and screw caps on the tail light screws, custom mats etc.

ok, I just looked. The recesses are not as deep as I thought, and wider as well. I'll be doing this too.
