super wow! 
i was dying to make comments about this! first, is there a way to make the background of the center piece look smooth...without the 4 circular dimples? second, is there a way to light up the center section now that it is cleared? and i think someone else mentioned this, but you should clear out the third brake light as well! very nice! that look is simply amazing.

I've already sealed the center back up. I can live with the circles. I didn't want to do something that I would regret later, by trying to cover the circles.
I had to use the dremel to cut the tabs that held the red in on the center.
