Message	have front fender flares, its just the angle of it. doing it yourself is real easy, all you need is a sheet of vinyl long enough for the light which should only cost a couple bucks or so. make sure you have the 3rd brake light out of the car. lay the vinyl adhesive side up on a clean flat surface, spray with water mixed with a tiny amount of dishwashing soap. lay the 3rd brake light on it, then trim with x-acto knife. it doesn't have to be perfect. next flip the whole thing around and start squeegeeing(not sure if that's even a word) all of the liquid out. once that's done trim it again, if you can't get it to sit flush the excess vinyl can be wrapped around the brake light. you can then feel the area where it actually lights up and just cut the vinyl off around that part. that's all to it.
