Thanks for the input guys.The pics really helped.I decided I might not like the recessed look on my vert.I am just going to have the paint shop paint my stock GT's to match my new red color.I think they look alright with red paint anyway compared to most colors.I can always decide to switch later if I want.
i bet if you use the butyl tape that it may help them not push in as far and still seal...probably will look good...mine went waaay in since i used silicone
