to bird or not to bird...hmmmm

[RatFink]

I put blue dot (old 50s Hot Rod thing) in my third brake light lens.
With a spare lens, so just 2 screws, and it's back to normul.

That sounds cool, can you elaborate a bit? Or pics? Does it make your break light a funky purple?

I think that there already enough birds on the 89 TTA. Map pocket badge, side panel, front badge, back break light center. I love the bird, just looks more at home on a 2nd gen black T/A. The BANDIT look, but I also like the 81 Pace car bird. I've seen some of the 4th gens look pretty good with birds on them too.

Here you go,
But not a good shot, this is the only photo I can find with it.

Basically, I got a spare third gen brake light lens, and drilled (with a dremul) out the center two sections that were centered with the bulbs.
Since the circles were already there, I had a guide.
The biggest part, was finding a set of blue dots with gold surronds.
Usually, they come silver.
I found a set and bought them at a car swap meet.
I have never seen gold ones again.
I have been looking, as I was going to make some for some friends.
I then silconed them into the holes, and let them dry.
The third gen brake light lens now shines purplish when the brakes are on.
As I said, I keep a spare lens, in case I get pulled over.
Anything blue or blueish is against the law.
Yet alot of Hot Rods get away with it.
So far, so have I.

Oh ya, one thing about the photos you posted.
The White second gen, is a 1980 Indy Turbo Trans Am.
Not the 1981 NASCAR/Daytona Turbo Trans Am.
The 1981 has red/black Recaro seats.

I need to get some better shots of the rear of the car, with these blue dots, so everyone else here can see.

Hope this helps,
