Default Factory Spoiler Question: (GS400 vs. GS430...are they the same?)

I need a spoiler brake light for my 2003 GS430... Do you guys know if the 2000 GS had the exact same spoiler?

I looked at some pics and it looks like the actual spoiler is identical...but the LED light looks like it's a different shape. Here's a pic for comparison:

2000 GS400


2003 GS430


Does anybody know for sure?

The factory installed spoilers and dealer installed aftermarket OEM style should be the same for each style 98-05.

You have pics of two different spoilers. The one on the GS400 was the dealer installed accessory one, which has a slightly (1.5") shorter brake lamp. See how the car has the 3rd brake light in the back window, thats how you can tell if the spoiler is factory installed or not.

If you find a pic of a GS400 without a 3rd brakelight in the rear window and a spoiler, it will be the same as the GS430 you posted.

iirc, there are slight variations of the oem spoiler (varies east coast vs central vs west or for whatever reason). there is a thread on this somewhere. for the most part, they are similar.
