3rd brake graphic

Done.



Snap to do. 10 minutes. 5 minutes of that was looking for my socket set.

Cheers

Looks very good! I did mine a couple weekends back. Was very surprised how easy it was to get everything off and finished.

Where does one get the vinyl overlay for this?

I checked on Ebay, but saw a bunch of lame ones, I wouldn't mind putting a 'SS' overlay on mine

I went super simple with mine...



Picked up the template and used high temp paint to black it out. Turned out pretty nice and clean.

If you have any artistic inclination, go to a sign shop and get some adhesive vinyl. You need a piece at least 11 1/2" x 2 1/8" to cover the face of the lens.

I had some laying around from another project, so I drew and cut my own.

Got it off eBay... I made the graphic and emailed the jpeg to the seller

$9.98 shipped

>>>eBay HHR 3rd brake light graphic<<<

This goes on the inside of the window... NOT the light lens... so don't panic when it come as a reversed image.

Cheers

Thats how I ordered mine, but got it from VinzDecals. Much easier than putting it on the actual brake light.
