Super easy, takes only about 5 minutes for an inexperienced person from start to finish; I include easy to follow pictorial mounting instructions with every order.

You use a few drops of dish soap and water to create a mounting liquid for wet application that easily allows you to move the decal until you are satisfied with placement.

From 10+ feet away the third brake light now blends right into the Jet Black deck lid. When illuminated, the overlay cannot be seen at all. The bright red of the stock third brake light really stuck out against the minor tint of the Blacklines, but now everything matches up much better.

Off and on shots below:

Thanks again highbrowed!

Mother of god! I've never wanted a carbon diffuser more than I do now. car looks amazing!

I wanted a less permanent solution to smoking out the third brake light on my 1 series, so I designed this vinyl overlay.

It requires no trimming and installs in seconds. Weather and UV resistant for 8 years.

I have decals left over from my initial design run for $19 shipped.

To order: Send $19 via PayPal to griffin@gryphonind.com mentioning this ad. Please be sure to include your shipping address when sending payment!

Here's some pics installed on my 2009 Space Grey Metallic 135i:

Installed today. I like the look especially with dark exterior paint. Makes the back look less busy like everything is crammed in there. Now if I just had a carbon fiber diffuser, and some rear mudflaps!

Before and after shots below.
