That is the dumb-est (oxymoron) thing I have ever seen.

Your "ghetto strip" on the front windshield isn't even a strip, and the back glass tint has a huge hole in it for a brake light???? (You are aware that the brake light is not a legally required light, right?) The only legal requirements for brake lights are the one's above the bumper at a set height, so don't let any BS legal mumbo jumbo come into play, nor that nasty black paint on the front of your windshield.

I have never seen anyone try to cut corners so much in my life.

This is a proper ghetto strip (my old IS)

you might wanna do some research before you go posting legalities on the board...

as of FMVSS108, (federal motor vehicle safety standard 108), CHMSL are required on all passenger cars since 1986 and light trucks since 1994...

You might wanna do some yourself. That is a requirement of the factory, not the state law. you WILL NOT get a ticket for disabling or tinting a third brake light.

wow who the heck revived my old thread? i should've updated it for you guys.
anyways, the SC i had at the time got totalled. Sooo I got a new one. check my garage for new pics. I went back to the shop, had a talk with the owner, got everything fixed. And on my new SC I went someplace else which did a way better job for a lot less.
I haven't been on here lately I've been busy with work and soon to be stationed in Colorado, which now has me looking for a subaru to trade for my SC.

OLT is correct. 3rd brake lights are NOT needed.
