3rd Brake Light Mod
Yes yes yes, everyone agrees the S10 3rd brake light is ugly. Here's an easy way to make it look alittle better.

In the top picture you can see where some ordinary scotch tape was applied to the lens. Notice the sides were cut round. Then with 600 grit sandpaper, the lens was scuffed everywhere but where the tape was. The second picture was taken after the lens was primered and painted, but still wet. You will want to remove the tape before the paint dries so the line will come out straight.

Hear you can see a before and after. It's a very easy and subtle mod and obviously looks way better.
