Send a PM to this guy: https://www.rx8club.com/member.php?s...fo&userid=6862 The guy that started this thread If you read the first page of this thread he gives complete instructions on how to install (actually he provides information on 2 methods). I've ordered mine and he shipped it last night I can't wait!

 

Go to the 1st page on this thread grasshopper and all will be revealed

And i tought doctors were smart ha haha .

 

L&L - your install looks gorgeous!

 

Hey Grifster, here is the first pic posted. :D

 

Thanks for the great idea D MENAC 7.

Here's a pic of mine I went with the stealth version. The top pic is the mask I used. The bottom left and bottom middle is my test of the un-stealth version (left brake light off, middle brake light on). Bottom right is stealth version brake light on.

Center middle pic is finished job stealth mount.

Thanks again D for the idea.

 

Mark me down as yet another satisfied customer! I've never touched a car part in my life; I can't believe I could do this by myself. Great instruction details. I chose the stealth install. Thanks D MENAC 7

 

Stealth mode.

D MENAC 7

You are what we Aussies call a" LEGEND " YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR 15 MINUTES OF FAME .

Enjoy your time .

cheers

Yup, I got around to doing mine as well. I used the non-stealth method and I used 3 copies taped together. That way the RX-8 logo reflects back almost matching the Ti Gray of the car until you hit the brakes. Camera is dead, will post a photo when it comes back to life.

 

I used two one printed regular the other printed reversed. Crazy glued them face to face.

 

I'm having a problem visualizing this. Regular is black with clear letters, reversed would be clear with black letters. Put them together and you got just black?

 

ALRIGHT!!! Hey, you Aussies aren't looking for a King are you? LOL Just kidding! Dang, L&L, a legend...maybe in my own mind!

Thanks!

 

I think Pauleta is trying to say that he printed one as shown, the second as a mirror image. Then when he placed them face to face, with both images facing the towards each other, they come out looking normal like it should. I can only guess that he did it this way because he used an inkjet printer instead of a laser printer and this was to keep them from running in case they get wet. This is only an assumption on my part about the reason he did it this way. If you use a laser printer, it will not run, it is water proof. Also, if you can get it laminated, it wouldn't run if using an inkjet printer. OK, now that I have given my secrets away...:D

 

Dennis maybe a LEGEND in your own lunchtime .HA HA HA

Sorry we dont need a KING , however i am sure you can buy your own kingdom somewhere if you make enough selling your third rear rx8 brake lights . ( iRAQ IS ON OFFER TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER )

cheers

Yesterday after stopping at a light, I noticed the two guys behind me pointing at my 8. I watched the in the mirror for a minute and the passenger made a oval with his fingers. I figured out they were talking about the brake light. Since, I had let off the brake while sitting at the light I tapped it and the passenger pointed again. So, needless to say I played with them a minute by tapping the brake on then off. Bad *** car and they notice the RX-8 brake light. I'm sure they thought it was stock. Again great job D MANIC 7.

 

Actually I printed onto a transparency from a laser printer. I hadn't decided yet if I was going to go stealth or not. I thought the backside of the transparency looked better on the printout. It gave the black more of a shine, the colour wasn't as dull. It's up to you what look you're looking for. It didn't end up mattering to me because I went stealth and you can't see the black.
