STS idea?

anyone seen a 91-92 highrise spoiler with an led brake light installed?

i've been toying with the idea of using an sts tail integrated into the spoiler but i'm not sure how it would look..

EDIT: Ok my pic won't work, you can barely tell the diff between my paint and the light

Also you got a bigger pic of that one?
sorry to be so picky, I can work with it, but I'm a perfecionist with stuff like this.....well most of the time

Yeah yours is the same as my car, can't really tell the difference that well, it'd probably be best to use night shots, thats what I was looking for

I'm not sure if it would work in real life anyways, the STS light is curved andthe Z28 wing is straight, plus I don't think there would be enough space, thickness wise, in the wing for the light to fit.

But if you could do it, or find some other means to make an LED brake light in the Z28 wing, it'd probably look real sweet. Don't know if the normal 3rd brake light + LED light + the brake lights from tailights wold bee too much though, might have to get rid of the org. 3rd brake light in the hatch.....but I hate that thing anyways always blocks the my vision in the rearveiw mirrior

I know that caddy's brake lights are not led but fiberglass cables that run from the front of the car to the rear... I don't know if the third brake light is the same but if so.. I doubt it possible for you to swap the thing... when we used to have STS and CTS in our shop, it was hell to repair those fiberglass lights and very expensive...

i have a 91-92 z28 spoiler with an led brake light in it, its not as long as a cadillac light but it suits the spoiler, it goes right between the supports of the spoiler. http://spoiler2000.com/Merchant2/mer...tegory_Code=CH this is the link.

If your asking about the quality of the spoiler from spoilers2000.com I Couldnt be happier with it, looks and measures out to be exact to a GM made one, and it comes with the led light bar, theres like 30 leds in it. should look good lite up. Ill post pics of the spoiler when I get home in a couple days im just on vaccation in Dallas.

I used to see a BMW with a universal import wing that had a LED brake light that streched all the way accross the wing....

IMO, i didn't like the looks of it.......
