If you are patient and have a steady hand you could always take the light out, then mask off the writing of your sticker with tape. Then cut it along the lines where it says cobalt and pull the old decal off. This should leave "cobalt" in tape and then you could simply paint the brake light the color you want or you could hit it with nightshades.

It's just an idea.

I have been thinking about doing something like this, just gotta wait until it warms up enough to paint.

i know i have lots of paint mods i have been planning for!!

I once purchased the black vinyl light cover, but realized it was going to be too small. I then went to a shop and had them make me a bigger one in my body color. Unfortunately, the vinyl was too thin. I had converted the 3rd brake light to led. the led's are soooo bright that the vinyl disappeared evertime I stepped on the brakes.

so anyone seen the same stuff for the actual brake lights? was lookin at those and 3rd brake earlier this morn and was thinkin about gettin the 3rd cover that says supercharged and covering the tails.

I think it was roxtar that put a bow tie over his break light and then painted it. I know that's not what you're talking about but there's an idea. just switch it to supercharged

not all of them are to small, the black one i put on the '05 was just right and about 1/16th of an inch was able to fold over the edges of the light
