Trouble with Flush Tail Light Install
I just received my Flush mount kit from Zip and I am have nothing but trouble trying to install the lights. The foam rubber that goes on the bottom half of the tail light openings forces the spacer blocks and screws to pinch inward. To make matters worse, I have the blackout kit from Vetteworks, which is the black plactic pieces. If I get one screw started, the other screw is on such an angle and there is no room to see if it is lining up with the hole.
Is there a secret to the installation, or is this just another mod that is p### poor engineered and collects the well known Corvette tax. |

I would call Zip @ 1-800-962-9632. Ask for Justin Abbott or J.T.Stafford. They can help you.
