I personally don't like the shaved light look. I think the inners give the 2GS part of it's distinctive character and without them it looks more like a Honda or Ford rear end.

I think it looks great, but you have to have a lip spoiler. Also, the reason there might seem like there's a gap is because the GS trunk bar isn't as long as say the new lexus LS or something of that variation.
