Thanks for the replies,
You all might think this silly, considering all the mechanical mods I've
done/doing on my car, but I am trying to keep the external (body) stock
looking, or almost anyway, other than the wheels.
I really like the way the brakelights were mounted into the back of the
headrests, nice integration, looks factory done.
The reason I was looking at the chrome trim on the trunk lid, is because I
figured I could get 6 or so bright leds drilled/mounted in there without
anyone noticing till I hit the brakes.
Not that there is anything wrong with a deck mounted brakelight, or licence
plate surround brakelight, but to me it looks like an "add on" which I ain't
fond of. I want it integrated into the lines of/design of the car. My idea is
to make the car faster, and safer, while adding as little weight as
possible........

I know that you are interested in a high mounted led brake light, but I
saw a custom 40 ford the other day at a local car show and he had a third led
brake light built into his billet aluminum rear license plate surround. It's
actually a custom license plate frame with a 4 inch led light built into the
top of the frame. It dresses up the license nicely. They must be available
thru the internet. I meant to ask him where he got it but forgot entirely.

I've been thinking about this once in a while too. No roll bar tho, and
wouldn't it be covered when the top was up?
I was thinking of putting a few bright LEDs in the chrome strip on the
trunk
lid. Haven't figured out how yet tho, and too many other projects to get
to
it.....
