I wish I could have got that lucky...lol...I sent a message to the guy I bought them from about the size issue. He said you are lucky if they fit right and that goes for all light covers on any car....seems like a load of BS to me...why can't they just make them the right damn size in the first place?

yeah, it cant be that hard to re-size, especially being that (im guessing) they are laser cut, they probably just dont test fit

It's just an idea.

I actually did exactly that lol, what happened was the tint spray just destroyed the paint i had put down originally. so ended up wiping and sanding it down, and just tinting it same as tail lights.


and yeah that 3rd brake light cover was like 11$ shipped off ebay. Was a little small and once you put it on, dont try n move it, i went through 3 of em cause the fuggers tear mad easy =P

sounds like a lot of hassle just for a brake light! lol. you should've tryed the night shade first then got some custom letters and spelled out cobalt then sprayed the rest and pealed away the letters.

Mine didn't cover the whole thing but i just centered it as good as i could and called it a day.

I'm gonna take mine out and paint it...I'm tired of looking at it...
