My friend made it for me, he has a vinyl cutter and cut out the letters, then we applied the vinyls to the third brakk light, primed the lense, and spray painted it gloss black and then just removed the letters, sprayed clear coat over the whole light.

My friend can make these, would you want the same font?, i spaced mine 2.5 inches from each end because of the length of the words.

let me know if you are interested in getting some
----------
it only took about 45 minutes with making the letters and applying them to the light and painting it

its ok, i know there are alot of junk yards out there where you could find a spare brake light, if you wanted to do a custom one for shows or just to cruise and advertise to the poeple shaking behind you what kind of ride you are runnin
