well i'm almost done with my new third brake light, i took the old one out because it was blocking my vision to the rear and everyone thought I was some kind of motorcycle gang phycho killer or something. I'll think i'll install it in the hatch. Hmm anyway< i made one with an led light,and a bunch of aluminum of course. It's bright as crap too.

I kind of wanted the style you see on a formula car with the superbright center light. It looks completly functional i am going to leave the aluminum satin finish just as it was when it came out of the blaster.

na,I went through a lot of trouble to get rid of the antenna,the rear washer,and smooth out the roof. the last thing i want is something cluttering up the roof

didnt you also mount an xm antenna on the inside of your roof, with a fiberglass cover on it?

right the hole in the roof is filled with fiberglass,so it's flat,it's transparent to the antenna
