Looks awesome. So how will this look on a car with no tint on the rear window? Will it just look like a black square with acura in middle on rear window? B/c i have tint but only 35% yours looks more like 20 or lower. So just curious if it will stand out more and not blend in as much as the darker tints.

Well I use a paper transfer tape, so all you would have to do is clean the spot where this piece would go. Then put a little water down and fixate the material to go where you want it. Then squeegee the water out from the top with a credit card and then peel the top piece off. Its relatively easy.

also i just realized the font doesnt look like the same font as the on your car? Especially the A where the horizontal bar doesnt touch on one side. But it does on the new one.

the tape is there to align the cover to go over the brake correctly, as a guide. The font is the same except there is not that small cross bar, the reason for this is that when the brake light comes on it doesn't look flush and it looks like there is dirt there, since the cross bar is tiny.

Just a idea I have (not to hyjack this post) How about replacing the OEM third brake light with a red LED strip that is as long as the top of the rear window. Or with some thing like these.
