Default tC overlays---Third brake light

Hello folks,
I just wanted to show you the third brake light overlays I just purchased today. As you folks know, on the tC the third brake light has a clear lens. Just for a subtle change, I added the red third brake light to my little baby. All I can say is it looks awesome! Just the right amount of change I was looking for, nice and subtle.
For the little amount of money invested in these babys, it is the "best bang for your money" Instant gratification with about a half hours worth of your time.

Looks great, can you take a picture zoomed out to see how it contrasts to the tail lights? Thanks.

kinda hard to have an idea without seeing the brake lights on the one with the overlay. it looks like its darker than the brake lights.

Is there a way to modify the third brake light to light up all the way across instead of looking like the light has burned out bulbs?

looks great.

I love it when EVO owners get rid of the cheezy altezzas and put in the JDM lights..

Nice work... I guess Scion guess woring again.. thinking clear lense is what we want... haaaaa

When after market clear lense brake lights come out.. Are you going to remove the overlay, so it's clear lense again? That way, all 3 lights look the same? haaaaaa

Hey, question for you guys... Anyway to light up the whole 3 brake light? the way it is now looks like some of the bulbs burns out...

Great minds think alike, only 15 hours apart.

If you can remove the housing, it shouldn't be that difficult to throw in some red LED's.

Kind of strange for Scion to NOT put in those extra LEDs... Wonder why they did that...

They gave the tC so many other goodies... Why not a few extra LEDs... Is Scion giving aftermarket a chance to make a little money??? HHHaaaaa

Cost money . If it stops raining I'm going to open it up and check to see how hard it would be to add more leds to it.

it's subtle... ;) sorry, just a minor pet peeve.

i like how the red overlay kind of emulates the whole strip being lit up when you hit the brakes... what i'd do after that is put the tinted overlay on top of that haha
