Been a While / SLC-Ralliart's Phoenix Red Sled

Fall Detail Pics
Did a full detail over the weekend and thought I would share a few more pics. First claybar'd the car, next used Meguiar's Gold Class polish, and followed it up with Mothers FX syn wax. I also removed the Ralliart vinyl from my side skirts.
Debating going wingless. Need to figure out an option for the third brake light.

Excellent paint detailing. I'll be doing that soon. Clay bar makes a difference, doesn't it.
btw, When i installed an evo wing I needed a different third brake light so i got one from the wreckers off an old Ford sedan, the kind that fit inside the rear window and sit on top of the parcel shelf. A nice easy project (hmmm, is there every anything "easy" when it comes to car mods?)

Car looks great slc! And im fairly certain there is a plug for the ES 3rd brake light on the underside of the rear deck. you should see it from inside the trunk its mounted to the metal there. I think. If that doesnt work id just splice it into the one for the stock wing. Thats what I did for a DIY 3rd brake light I made.

Slc, I said it once and I'll say it again. I love those wheels on your car! The detailing is awesome too, looks better than showroom to me. Super clean! I'm gonna need to get me one of those claybar things.
EDIT: Just realized you and truthdweller have the same wheels.
I used the LED emblem I found on eBay as my 3rd brake light. Just used the side-by-side connectors things instead of splicing and it only took about 15 minutes, but as was said above, the ES 3rd would probably be the easiest if the harness is already there. A couple people are selling their evo 3rd's in the marketplace for around $30 too.

Thanks for the info on the Emblem. That is not a bad idea. I still may stop by a pick n pull and grab an es third brake light.
BTW if anyone wants some es tails, I found a set being sold locally.

From the donor ES, I'd encourage you to pull the whole rear deck too, as you'll need to cut holes in your deck for the light to come out (obviously). Use the spare ES deck as a template for where to cut your RA one (fabric's a different color). Also, the ES housing's a light grey/beige (depending on what you find), so you may want to paint it before throwing it in the car.
