93-02 T/A High Rise 3rd brake light- LINK

This is the link for the 1993-2002 Trans Am High Rise 3rd brake light in 'SMOKE'. I can not verify ANY other seller or ANY other finish (chrome/black). This is the ONLY one I can verify.
FWIW, someone messaged this exact seller about this exact part # and he said that it would not fit a high rise, obviously they have no idea what they are selling.

Sellers name: hdcautosports

Original thread:

These were discontinued at one point and no word if they would be brought back. They are back now for who knows how long, if you want one... Buy it now!!

PICS:
Not installed: (Looks very cheap before you install it)

Thanks for being the guinea pig on this man, I may have to order one up for the new ride. Looks borderline rice from the back looking straight at it, but nothing some spray light tint stuff won't fix.

No problem, somebody had to do it and I wasn't losing anything if it was the wrong one.

It looks MUCH better in person, pics do make it look much cheaper/ricey than it really is.

I think I have pretty good taste in appearance mods and I like it a WHOLE lot more than the stocker.

Not a bad idea! I'm too impatient. Mine was on within three minutes!

The smoked one come unpainted and you can see the mounting locations and everything inside the spoiler if you look hard enough.

Plus, it'd look better with a smoked lens to hide the LEDs and reflectors.

I probably will be painting the bottom-sides so you can't see the mounting locations. Have not decided, I want to see it out in town and what not and see what a few people say.
I have not decided on the pewter on top... I think I'm just leaving mine the way it is... Or going a few shades darker with some tint spray.

But for now, I'm very happy with the upgrade!!

Kudos to you bro! Out all the money I spent on my car I was really never willing to pull the trigger on a $45 dollar mistake.lmao. Only sent them an email here and there hopeing. I would get a diff person, but never man up to the plate.
