How can I get my rear brake light to say BYE BYE. Its the center one, with the light on the trunk latch...

I don't know. But it sound neat. I suppose you could take the lens out and paint the inside to display those words

 

i know a guy who did this with a SS monte... 87, he painted it so it said chevy.... from what i saw, too, it looked NASTY. It wither looks cramped, or the writing is too small to see from the car behind. just my 2 cents though

electrical tape... it looked alright. the one i saw said "JIM". not bad for experimenting

 

I just thought of this for mine. Get the windo tint from like PEP BOYs Lay it down so the stick side is up and cut with exacto knife the words. then just stick that bad boy on it Tay way only read comes threw

 

I saw a GN that said UD-LOSE. Looked good. I think your best bet would be to get a piece of thin plexi or clear plastic and lay letter stencils down, and paint it black. Lift the letter stencils and either glue or screw it into place.

All good ideas, but I guess that it depends on how much you want to spend and how professional you want it to look.

The best way I can think of for it to look good (depending upon your letter cutting abilities, you may be able to get those results from cutting out the letters...) would be to get the dimensions of the break light area, then go to Word on your computer (you must have access to one since you made a post...) and make a text box the suitable size and select the proper font, character spacing, etc. and then print a copy.

Now (this is where it'll get a little expensive), go to a print shop (sometimes small newspapers can do it too) and ask them to make a 100% (no reduction or enlargement) negative litograph copy of your artwork.

A litograph is essentially photographic film that is either black or white (actually black or clear - since it is film, it won't be "white", but clear like a transparancy). Since you specify you want a negative copy, then what is black on your artwork (the letters) will turn out clear, and what is white will turn out black (opaque).

If what you want is black letters with a clear background, then ask for a "positive" 100% litho copy of your artwork, but I think clear letters will look better illuminated with the red light.

Just my thoughts.

 

I don't know if this will Help. But I have canon bjc-6000 and they make a specail paper for it called back print film. IT says "Your data is printed in mirror image so it can be viewed from the front or glossy side using a back lighting device."
