Default My 3rd brake light mod

Well, this is my first mod on the xB. Its my homemade 3rd brake light sticker. I also de-badged the xB today, so thats two mods in one day. w00t!! Hope you enjoy the pics....





Im thinking of possibly making these available for purchase if anyone is interested or if anyone has not already made them for sale.

I did this once on my wife's civic.
The best way is to get some graphic shop to cut you what you want in vinyl.
Remove the light from the car and place the vinyl on the lamp where you want the logo.
Then you can get some spray tint or translucent color from the hobby shop and spray the lamp.
Wait for the paint to dry and remove the vinyl.

its a vinyl sticker that I made then I put it on the glass infront of the brake light. Installation only to about 5 mins, but you do need to take the lamp off to get a good placement with no bubbles under the vinyl.

and here are some daylight pics that I took this morning, I still need to get one made for the xA. So right now I only have the xB available, but as soon as I can see if the 3rd brake light on an xA is the same design as the xB or if I need to make adjustments for the xA. I will try to get that done soon.





not the greatest pics but I hope thats what you guys are looking for in the daylight pics.

wow, i didn't even see that post. you should make some of those battery tie downs for the scions. the scion and matrix are great cars, so you should be happy with the xB.
