I've been debating getting a BYS spoiler but am afraid of losing my third brake light. I just know as soon as I take it off, I'm gonna get rear ended and get sued for no third brake light.

But after looking at my trunk for a while, I thought that maybe if the housing blended better with the trunk, it wouldn't look so much like an afterthought. And I figured the lines of the housing, if painted would flow with the trunklid and appear to be a small lip spoiler.

So I went ahead and had it painted by a friend of mine. I figured if I don't like it, I'd just buy a spoiler to cover it up. But I think I like it alot.

Check the pics and tell me what you think.

Nice wheels man!

In 1987, it became federal law for cars to have a high mounted third brake light. Kinda like 5mph bumpers, and various other safety equipment.
