Default 3rd brake light

Just purchased a 3rd brake light has anyone had to replace theirs yet? Mine is all scratched and weatherd. How hard was it? I got a quick glance in the trunk this morning but didnt see where it was bolted or screwed in!

i havnt replaced mine but i painted the top black so it didnt look so bad, there are just 2 or 4 bolts in the inside of the light, u can see them if u look under the trunk lid with it open, they are actually studs with nuts on them i cant remember if it is 2 or 4

Installation is simple, just be ready to replace it again later on. Im on my second one and its starting to show wear signs again.

Well the 3rd brake light isnt really scratched, its weathered and looks scratched.

As far as the shift kit, not yet. im asking around for quotes on install. and i still need to get the gasket and trans fluid.
