I can't really speak about the 3rd brake light replacement, but I do know the biggest/most challenging part of the job will be removing the rear deck lid. I recently had mine out to install dynamat but basically all the interior panels in the backseat area have to be removed to get the rear deck lid removed.
There are lots a write-ups for replacing the rear speakers, but here's a helpful video on YouTube. |

Agreed on the rear deck being a pain. Everything comes out!

Also pay close attention to the special side cover clip (pic in post8 in below thread) that has to be unhooked without disturbing the side air bag. About 28mins in utube vid2 it shows how to reattach the clip. https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=213736 |

Yeah and just take care of pulling the panels off because it's real easy to break them and make sure to line the clips back up carefully when putting the panels back on also or they'll still break on you.
