I'll probably make it tomorrow cause i left the file at home. I just nee to know how big is the 3rd brake light. Height and Width. I might make the slightly larger so you will have to take off the light to install them. That way you can tuck them in and have a cleaner look.

That's how mine was, I didn't get if from eBay though... Grafixwerks or something like that.

After awhile they start to look nasty hence the reason I had mine painted, so much prettier now.

Garret, do you have a pic of your painted light? I bet the ones from ebay do look great at night but during the day u can see that it isnt totally flush like I was hoping it would be but I suppose you can only tell that up close to otherwise bet it just shines nicely...cant wait to see how jj's turn out.

Well i just cut out the overlay, but i still done know what size to make it.


I might just go to the stealership and see if there are any 5th gens so i can measure them.

I can have it ready in about 15mins. But i still need to get the overall size of the brake light.

Question:

are the SS's of an MC the same as the TBSS?

Just a dark tint paint, it's darker than my tails which are just a med/dark.

I lied, here are two other shots
