    Spoiler Removal and Third Brake Light Options

    I've located a non-ugly spoilerless trunk-lid for my m3/4/5. I'm keeping the factory lid with spoiler for future use but would like to know what my options are for reinstalling a third brake light.

    My spoiler was not dealer installed, so I have no brake light inside the cabin. What are my options?

    Thanks in advance!

    Probably your best option is pull a rear window, light, and rear deck, from a parts car. You are going to need the wiring harness in the trunk too.
    No matter where you go, there you are...

    Wow, lots of work. The rear window is different? Might have to scratch this idea all together.

    As long as you're not a grumpy middle-aged architect that's not too many coincidences to be weird! I've done a Triangle area meet-up for fellow 'Speed Miata owners for a burger at Char-grille. Sounds like we might need one for e36 M3's. Or a C+C take-over in Morrisville.
