    Will Mtech-II trunk spoiler fit on 3rd Brake Light Trunk

    As the title says I am wanting to buy an mtech2 trunk spoiler but I'm first of all wondering if it will fit on a convertible trunk lid with a third brake light mounted on it. If it does fit does anyone have any photos of this? I am going to be putting a painted hardtop on so that will make it look a bit better but I'm afraid the brake light might make the spoiler look stupid. If that's the case i will buy a new trunk lid from a coupe an drill the holes for the spoiler on that.

      I mean If I was to keep the third brake light on the trunk as well as the spoiler. I would go the filling holes or a new trunk lid route if the spoiler didn't fit as well as the light or it simply looked dumb with both cluttering up the trunk lid

        delete the 3rd brake lite or dont put the mtech2 spoiler on. get a 325is deck lid and mount the spoiler on that, like i did.

          Agreed with the above! I think the M-Tech wing on a 3rd brake light trunk would look strange.

            If you really want to have a 3rd brake light and an m-tech II rear spoiler, this is the only solution. I've been keeping my eye for one, but they rarely come up.
