3rd Brake Audi rings update.....
I've been playing around with the CHMSL (3rd brake light) Audi rings that I told you about yesterday, and here is what I've come up with:<p>I printed the graphic on transparency film with a laser printer, and then cut it out (as pictured above), and put it over my CHMSL. Problem is that the ink from the laser printer is not dark enough to block out the bright brake light. So, the effect is completely lost. So, I then grabbed my black paint, and put a layer of paint on top of the laser ink, and then it was dark enough to be noticed by cars following you (BMWs, Acuras, Saabs).<p>Problem is, how to mass produce this? I can talk to my local printer about what it would cost to make black stickers like the picture above. You could then put the sticker on the red brake lense. Which leads me to problem 2; the CHMSL cover is easy to remove, but it would make everything easier if I could remove the entire CHMSL lense unit. I can't see any easy way to take it off without removing the entire rear deck. There seems to be 2 screws that hold the CHMSL to the rear deck, but you can't access them from underneath in the trunk. You can see the 2 screws that hold the unit down, but can't access them with a screwdriver....maybe if I drilled access holes I could get at them.<p>OK, next thing to consider is cost. Should this be something we should make at cost so that no one makes money? Or should we inflate the price to help fund A4.org. I would rather not see something like this cost more than $6. If we all agree that this would be something to help the forum, shall I continue to work on this. Or should I turn it over to someone else?<p>I just had the idea, now you all can decide what to do with it.<p>I put a picture in the picture poster, but that usually never works for me, so i'm use it won't show up.<p>Christian
