Lol you're an onforgiving bunch... If you must know, I had staples photocopy the template onto transparent film, and since one wasn't dark enough I used 3 superimposed. So cutting those out properly and taping them together so they match, and taping them into the light, took the bulk of the time.

I like the "stealth" way - open it up and you will see what's what.

I have the Rx8 Strakes stealth brake light decal mod and want to apply it today for the stealth look. Are there any special instructions for mounting it? Should I peal off the paper and apply if with a squeegee, or should I just attach it with tape? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

GA 3rd Brake Light

I completed this mod today. I inverted the colors so that the dark part is now the RX-8. I did this to allow for light from the brake light. I also used red transparency paper.

Help,

I have read 5 pages of this thread, and I am only at the start of this job..

I can't get the inner handle off the trunk trim.

How do you remove that black handle..

Mine just won't move at all...

Thanks
ASH

My son did the graphic work for the 'rotors' and I used it to cut a sticker for the back window of my RX7 - thought it would work out for this as well. Looks good. I just printed it onto some reasonably transparent tracing paper with my laser printer then laminated it in a small desktop laminating machine.
