GTS or AVS Tail Blackouts?

Recently I picked up a pair of the GTS blackout taillight covers... These attach with a 3m dual lock fastener... My question is ... which brand of these covers are better? The pair I have look fine, but am having trouble attaching them without seeing the "velcro" seen behind the covers when the lights are illuminated.

Now the AVS version looks promising... If you look at the instructions, it has a tab thet goes under each light and a tab that goes over the top....

Can anyone shed some light on these two items?? My biggest complaint about the GTS covers that I have is not being able to attach them without unsightly velcro being seen....

First pic is of what I have now... Second pic is the Auto VentShades versions instructions.... I could NOT for the life of me find a pic online of the actual AVS covers....


Oh, and if I am stuck using dual-lock strips to fasten these..... Is there anywhere locally to get this stuff or can someone give a better product to use....

I think the dual lock would be your best bet. I know GTS but I've never heard of the other kind, you might wanna try relocating your dual lock strips to in between the sections of the tail light and see how that looks.
