Had them flush for a couple months and decided I liked the original look better.

I like the flush mount but mine don't seem to stick out as far as yours do. But, maybe it's just the camera angle of the shots.

I like the flush mounts. I went a step further & installed led's including the third brake light. I like the fact that you can change back to stock look if you want to. You have a nice looking ride!

Very subtle, but looks a little bug eyed.

I thought the OEM third brake light was already LED? Any pics of your modded third brake light?

I had flushed mine out for about a month then changed back. Didn't like the look.

I don't mind it on others cars but not on my own.
