DIY - Third brake light relocate to headliner

[Misfire]

Adding my rendition of this. I liked aspects from @fatherfork and @MemphisR's builds, so I combined them to make mine.

Testing the bar. The bar is 33 inches, apparently this model is discontinued and I bought the last one from superbrightled.


Mocked the bar up with tape.


Getting the enclosure built.



Used gloss black vinyl on the top and wrapped black felt on the bottom.


Wrapped the rear deck in black velvet. Its a thinner fabric, so it still shows the holes for the original brake light and child seat cutouts a little bit. I used foam in the holes, but it still didn't come out exactly how I would have liked, I may re-do it in the future if I get annoyed with it.


Felt buttoned up to the headlinder.


Windows are tinted with 30%





The final assembly weighs 0.81 pounds, and I removed 1.10 pounds with everything taken off the rear deck.

I don't think there is a kit. I just used a sheet of craft foam and cut it to the shape of the brake light holes. It was even the same material as the one made buy a member of the forum

You should make your copy easy to replicate and offer your services. I'd def be interested.

I was interested in sound deadening in the doors. Found an Australian company that makes precut sections for $250+ per kit. Found sheets online, spent malicious time doing one door, spent a fourth of a time dong the next. I considered taking those patterns and offering a package myself.

Def agree. Lmk if you decide to offer that. If I wanted to buy that ft86speedfactory product, think you could help me out with that filler piece? Message me.
