Fun with decals on the third brake light.
Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
Can you make them as a strip of vinyl with the letters cut out? Wouldn't that work better, and make "CROSSFIRE" light up? I guess I'm confused.
Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
Agree if it was a vinyl strip the same size of the light with the "custom letters cut out so the only light escaping would spell out C R O S S F I R E that would be better and more pronounced......or in my case the letters U N L I M I T E D.
Thanks

Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
The only way the individual letters would work is if you applied them, painted the lens black, then removed them. Much easier to apply one black sticker with the letters missing, and let the light shine through.
Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
I would not consider covering any of the stoplights, it is one of the defenses that keep people from ramming into me from behind. I need all the brightness I can get, it's cheap insurance.
Likewise tinting, it may look cool to some but seeing that tinted set of lights laying smashed in the road after a rear ender may change your mind about doing it again.
Debadging and then adding CROSSFIRE or adding another CROSSFIRE sign on the rear. Hmm.
I'd call it ricer anyway, but it's your car .......

You need to study the definition of "ricer" again.

I like this way better myself.
Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
Seems fine to me, covers a lot of people.
The red of stop lights is a worldwide standard basically and any cop could give you a ticket for tinted lights that showed a different shade off red.

As for the police state, I've had several cops behind me since the "mod" and not a blip of the lights. We're good
Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
They don't stop them around here for black tinted tailights, dark tinted headlights, green/blue turnsignals, very dark windows so I'm not cencered with a few letters on the 3rd brake light.

Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
~ thanks for your patience with this one... i will have a final product next week for the roadster & coupe (different lengths)...
many adjustments to assure a quality product.
another challenge is shipping ... bc the decal will need to be rolled into a tube of some sort since they are so long and i don't want any bends in the product.

Re: Fun with decals on the third brake light.
the decals are finally ready to ship... the cost shipped is $16.
i was hoping to keep them around $10 but they need to be rolled to ship correctly and place in a decent size box versus a padded envelope.
the coupe decal is 16" long ... and the roadster is 28" long.
the only color at this time is black. many wanted the decal to be unapparent until the brakes are applied.
please feel free to send me a pm for ordering info.
cheers,
andrew
