the funny thing aboout that 3rd brake light is I cleared mine with the same clear I put on the tail lights, and it cracked just like some of the pictures in that thred, but the taillights didn't.

FINALLY got it about 8.5/10 ... had to break out the big guns and wet sand it with 320 first, then 600, then use some medium reducer as an adhesion agent, with green scotchbrite scuff in between coats !!!

GeoffWhite · « **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2011, 10:23:08 pm »

Looks great man. I had to put the clear on so freaking thick just so I could sand it back down and buff it. What a pain!!

NVMYZ28 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 01, 2011, 07:09:35 am »

LOL ! Jeremy had the UFBA stickers, MOD already done at purchase !!!

And I used to really like ZR1's but lately my opinion has changed (prob due to SAD) ... I'm thinking:

Excellent!!! I'm glad I talked some sense into ya

Sorry to all who like ZR1's but they do not rank very high on my list (to each his own).

NVMYZ28 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 03, 2011, 01:33:29 pm »

Those wheels will look great as well. I liked the black ZR1s on my '97 (I dont care for silver ZR1s). But its your car get what YOU like

I still havent liked a wheel as much as I did my OZ Competitions on my '94..... I miss those

Though I like the OEM 19"s on my G8, heh.
