I did exactly what you are considering. I have tried to keep most things
original but when it comes to reliability or safety, I tend to upgrade
because my car is a daily driver. The third brake light is definitely
more noticeable especially during the day.

My current project is a pair of Miata seats. Mostly because my original
seats are really shot, but partially for the additional head restrain
(even if the head rests are a bit short).
