I've got the brake light red letters from Ecklers....that would be too much - but if you like it, go for it.

Default Third Brake Light cover

Yep, I was stupid enough to buy one of those things. It a piece of junk! It's nothing more than a paper decal that doesn't fit the brake light and doesn't even have enough glue on it to even stick to the brake light lens. Honestly, it's worth about $.15 cent and I threw the thing away just after I peeled it off of the paper backing and it broke into pieces. I emailed the guy who sells these things and he was a real jerk! He said that I knew exactly what I was buying and he then gave me negative feedback on ebay for asking for my money back. Stay away from this guy's deals and don't buy his junk. You'll only get ripped off!

I think the idea is cool...but the application of his design very weak. Now, if you stenciled it in and used a tinting spray from the back of the brakelight . . .

The funny thing is I have one of these on my car right now. I couldn't find anything else to black it out to match the blackouts on the taillights and backup lights.

Bought one on Ebay and it ended up in the trash can. Did not fit right and really cheap.

Nope, I have the brakelight red acrylic letters in the Corvette script that is already on the rear of the car. That is enough for me.
