Thanks!
NP...when you move them up in line with the recess in the bumper, they will still cover-up the holes from the previous location so knowone will ever know (I guess I should have PM'd you so thread readers didn't know about this...sorry)

people put that rear gt trim lower like that so that it gives it a more "lowered" look. But, I agree, place it like how its done from factory.

Yeah that was what I was thinking too when I looked at it, it does look low and the body line stays more even with the ground along it's bottom edge, so I was liking the look too. But the top edge says "I am not in the right place" to me, I guess personal preference, but if it was me it would be lined-up with the recess in the rear bumper.

Here's an example of what I am talking about:

I bought that gt trim and it comes with a cardboard template... you line the template up with the bumper recessed lines and you punch the holes accordingly... some people buy them used and never seen this template... maybe one day ill put it on, but I'll stay with the clean look for now.

On black I would want to say they would not be as noticeable as on light colour cars. On white they seem to standout nicely, and yellow works too.

lilstan, post up a pic of your car for comparison. i bet you it doesn't look nearly as good as this yellow one.

I'm not saying my car is better in anyway, I'm just saying I think the price is a little high. But if you want to compare:
