yea the only way that would be possible would be to cut a hole in your trunk.... actually just dont try it. I have seen decals you can insert in your 3rd brake light which say mustang.

take a dremel and cut out the inside of the "GT" leaving the outline. Go to a junkyard and find a broken taillight with enough lens to fill teh gt, trace and cut out with a dremel. glue lens to outline maybe using some silicone as well, be sure to seal teh emblem to the trunk for both stoppage of water and so teh light wont "leak" out the sides making it look sloppy. get some led's and tap teh brake line, you may have to drill a hole in your trunk for the wire. I have actually had a friend do this in the early 90s to his civic( lit the H symbol), it looked good, was waaaaaay too much work for the outcome imo, but i had never seen one. Have you looked to see if anyone offers them? Mass produce them, then share your first million with me for the how-to instructions

yea i would probably get another emblem to do it to, just so i have my stock one if i want to change it back, but i think it would be sooo sick at night, and im not sure how it would look in the day, it kinda depends how you do it tho.

Just keep it as a good idea and dont. I do not think it is worth cutting on your trunk for that mod.
