got a 3rd brake light bar from a 993. The curvature is almost exactly that of the underside of the targa bar. Ran the wires thru the trim down the left side and back to the left tail light for ground and brake light signal.
not too bad for about an hour... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

Nice install ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I've installed the '87 Corvette 3rd brake light on the engine cover previously sold by Engman. The targa installation beats out the engine cover installation for visibility, great idea !
