Nice choice. When you order your decal measure out the opening on the glass of your third brake light. Have the letters fill as much of that space as possible so it can be seen better. Then have the adhesive on the front so you can mount it on the rear glass instead of the brake light itself. The black on the window will frame it out. I found that a lot easier to do.

I purchased mine from : http://www.vinzdecals.com/ Fast-had it a few days after I ordered it. Came by 1st class mail so I didn't have to wait for the UPS guy at night for residential delivery.

Already Done BK.
I used to do work for a sign, banner and ad balloon company a while back.
I also consulted the shop that will cut the vinyl to find out the graphic file info.

Cheers

Added the Window Vinyl to the back window tonight. 20 minutes of smoothing and stretching it. Was going to trim out for the 3rd brake light graphic, but decide to check it before I did. glad I did that... the brake light shows through the vinyl nicely when lit, but the window looks clean when not lit.




Got beeped and honked at a few times on the way to the girlfriend's house tonight too

Cheers
