i managed to break a bulb in the process, but pep boys was still open!

b.t.w. no brake light mod shot's, i didn't have anybody with me to press the brake, those are just the running lights!

Looks great!

Now, just remove the "Cooper" and you'll have a really smooth look.

Wow! looks real really cool. I think it compliments the roof very well. I wonder how tinting the 3rd brake light would look like.

You ever want to get those black side markers @ CTD

Still contemplating the extra rear brake mod but should have the tailights tinted the same day as the rest of the windows.

do the brake light mod, if anything just for safety!
it's highly recommended!

nfo,

Could I find the "jumper wire" needed for the brake light mod at a Radio Shack.
Items needed: jumper wire and electrical tape.

Is this correct?

nfo: does that include a piece for the high mounted third brake light? It doesn't look like it, but I thought I would check anyway.
