Are you kidding... reminds me when I rented a car for business from Budget rental and the third brake light lit up "BUDGET" when you stepped on the brakes! Never again

haha! Thanks!The problem with our third brake light is that it's so bloody small. IIRC, it's about six inches wide, but only 3/4" tall...that doesn't leave alot of space for really nifty designs...

I personally dont really dig it that much... especially just the plain "altima" there.

I can probably put together some custom overlay stuff for you guys if theres interest...

One of my more recent ideas for this was to use some EL tape (type of stuff doc used in his kickplates) with whatever you like illuminated... and placed infront of the 3rd brake light, and wired up with the brakes...

Instead of "Altima", you should write "STOP!!!!".

In all seriousness though, DON'T DO IT!!!!

No way man, next step after that is a big altima sticker across you hood then on the doors then chrome window wipers, chrome mirrors and then you could be like one of those Honda power Sri Lankin mobiles.

if you're gonna do that... you might as well have them do the word "stop" instead of "altima" lol just so everyone behind you knows what to do when it lights up instead of trying to figure out what is spelled in the brake light and be like "what does that say... A-l-t-i-?? #$#$#CRASH#$@%%#$ lol
