    WTB: e36 parcel shelf w/o brake light (no CEL), considering w/ CEL tho.

    What's up y'all.

    Working on a center stop lamp delete for the factory spoiler look on an e36 m3.

    These are rare and I'm considering modifying one with the center lamp.

    I have a nice dark purple (used to be anthracite?) parcel shelf with brake light. PM if keen. I don't think you'll be able to find a non-braked light shelf one as pretty much every e36 had it.

    Hank- even if you delete this. what are you going to do with the rear windshield? the rear windshield itself has a cutoff for the brake light

    two options:

    A) glass will have to be replaced with the correct version. I haven't confirmed with suppliers (BMW Dealership?) that it is still available, but it seems to show up in the database.

    B) careful scraping with razor, trying not to nick the heater wires. not sure if one nick would kill the whole circuit, or if each one is independent. this would obviously not look perfect, but i accept this level of patina in my car.
