Just did my own 3rd Brake Light Decal

It took me about 40 mins - 1 hour to do this, but I think it looks pretty darn good.

I think it's centered, didn't really measure or anything just by eye.

Car is still dirty, it's been raining since yesterday.

Watcha think?

looks great, the red-outline is unique and both versions look great.

Did you make that yourself, or buy it? where you get it from/what you make it out of?

I made it myself...I had some of the carbon fiber vinyl that I got from AutoZone.

I used two layers, I thought it wasn't dark enough.

What I did was, I opened up word and picked the font I wanted to use (don't recall what it was tho) in bold and italic type.

Went up to change the size of font and put in 135 (you have to manually change/input that) and printed it off.

Cut it out and tape/placed it over the light housing where I adhered the vinyl to and cut the letters out with a knife.

Had to re-taped some places so the paper wouldn't move.

Took maybe 40 min. to an hour to do.
