Third Brake Light Mod, Tell Me What You Think?
It took me no more than 5 minutes to do this mod. I love the outcome of it! Tell me what you think. Leave any kind of opinions or suggestions.



Here's a close up of it.

It defiantly is bright, but ONLY the lettering shows up and I specifically made it that way. I didn't want anything but the lettering to show so it can only be as bright as that font will allow it to be.

No one is EVER going to understand it. Maybe if you'd have put "RX-8" there, it would make more sense.

i've always disliked any form of sticker fad placed over the third brake light...

its also more dangerous for the lack of attention soccer mom who might not notice the car in front braking

Dude....it's actually looks better than I thought it would!

You owe me!


Mine has the RX-8 back there(different font) and is sort of accomplished how Al describes it. Definetely need to de-dbage the car trunk on mine though.

See your PM's for the answer to your other question.

It's not a sticker in the first pace....sticker would indeed suck and peel eventually. This sits inside the whole assembly. And in my opinion it probably helps with said "soccer mom" as it more than likely going to bring more attention, plain and simple.

Now if I could just get one for the top of the car that faces forward(but reads backwards) and says "<------- Move the f*&^ over -------", then I'd be all set!

That looks very cheesey. And so does the "RX-8". I mean... there's a chrome freakin' RX-8 emblem less than a foot away.

It's just a little too much. Just an opinion.

I think if your car was de-badged then it would be cool and I'm not "flaming" anyone. My post are my opinion(s).
Pic of my car no sticker's and debadged.
