Clearer view out back window plus it makes the light a bit higher up so it improves the odds of the car behind the car behind me, of seeing me braking through the windows of the car directly behind me. Hope that makes sense. It also makes cleaning the inside of the back window so much easier.

Plus I think it looks cool and it was something that I had the time and ability to do. I mean why do we mod our rides in the first place.

Awesome look! I'm torn between TOMS or Valentis. Going to be my first mod.

I cleaned off the used double-sided tape from a pair of STi side skirts, then applied two layers of fresh 3M tape. It might even need a 3rd layer to be as thick as the original.

That stuff was a PITA to take off.

Baby Jawa is pleased.

Ok I understand, not bashing the mod just was curious about the reasoning.

a '15 WRX (WRB) flashed his lights for a thumbs up. I flashed back and it was an awesome feeling.

Reason being is that other WRX's around here either stare and ignore or just rev and be butthurt about it.

Jealous maybe?

I hate to go there, but your hood looks completely swirled up in the first pic. Like really bad.

edit: More like buffer trails as opposed to being swirled up.

Not to mention it's totally a Toyota Corolla thing to have the third brake light there (which is totally fine... our cars are related to them anyway), whereas having it up top looks more "BMW-esque"... not that we care to mimic BMW's...

Corolla (disregard the ricey aftermarket tails):

Wanting something different was my factor. Just a happy coincidence that they were the inexpensive ones. Lol. Name: uploadfromtaptalk1410389222508.jpg
