Default Opinion: F1 Diffuser Rear Brake/Fog Light on S2000

This may be controversial...after seeing some 370Z and newer Ferrari with the F1 Diffuser Rear Brake Light, I was thinking of adding one too. But first, I need you guy's opinion on this!
Here's a pic of my S2000 below:



I was thinking of buying the authentic JDM Fairlady 370Z Rear Fog light lamps but am not sure how to connect it or if it will even work correctly.



This is the product:

The real F1 diffuser third brake light is manufactured by McLaren Electronic Systems slightly below 1000€.

I saw this...that's when I photoshoped my car...lol



This is the cheaper version from ebay for like $20. Not bad, but I wanted to get a higher quality version.

I say you should do it.

I've been interested in getting that 3rd brake light blink mod. Anyone know a reliable place to get the hardware/wiring from?

The light install is easy but blinking requires a unit to blink fast. Is like the hyper blink relays haha

HI,

Idk...since you asked for an opinion then i'm going to be honest. It looks pretty ricey to me. It would probably annoy me if I was driving behind you. Your car looks extremely clean as is and I think this would just look tacky. Just my 2 cents.
