Pro mod # 332
Can't tell you and its not mine. Wish it was. Belongs to a gentleman named Allen in Lexington SC. Owner of the Honda dealership. I deliver cars to them..
Took the photos a while back when I was there and though I remembered the tail lights being flush.. Thread went from views to bench racing so though I'd throw a little in there.....
Beautiful car but from what the boys said it has not been run in 3 years. Forgot the ci but it was around 600 something.
...... Caught my attention....

I have mine flush mounted. It took me a little time to get use to it, but I'm glad I did it. Easy mod and if you get sick of it, you can put them back to to stock.

Flush lights on vettes are just not meant to be.

The recessed light set vettes apart from the rest.

The flush mounts sets us apart from you stock guys, and they are easier to clean, stock lights just catch to much crap, like a lint screen on a dryer!

I think you need to shim that left eye just a tad. Just my opinion.
