Hi-mount 3rd Brake Light Installed by SpeedZone

As mentioned in earlier post... I'd highly suggest doing the tint first.... then install the painted brake light (w/oem 3m tape) about 4-5 days later -- then add the HIC visor if you're so inclined. Speedzone needs an unobstructed rear window to cut the tint material to size. I was lucky that another 86'er was at the shop and we used her rear window as the "template." (Thanks again Michelle!)

I'm already tinted, think I may do it myself but right now I'm recovering from back surgery so crawling around the back seat isn't something I'm eager to do. I need to get my racing springs as well. Out of curiosity did you use the high temperature black 3M tape? I haven't seen it lately at autozone, only the high temp gray.

I saw the housings that the other guy on the forums is making with CF and fiberglass, but the price is a little steep if I can do this effectively for $50-60.

I used the med-dark gray 3m tape. I would have gone with a black version if I had known there was that option.

Any more pictures from the back of the car?? I was going to do a top mount brake light but afraid that the HIC roof spoiler was going to get in the way. SUPER GLAD that someone actually did it with the visor.

Anxious to see how that works out for you...
