Default quick question about roof spoilers...

so i found this spoiler which came recommended from someone on the forum which retails for $239 shipped.
it has no LED brake light (despite how it appears in the picture i spoke with the manufacturer and no brake light).

http://www.dallasautomotiverestyling...play_image.php

the wald roof spoiler retails for $539, and in the pictures i've found of it it appears to have a LED brake light.
in the dallas automotive pic it appears as if the OEM brake light is just incorporated into it, is this the same with the wald?

just wondering if besides the name, there is any reason the wald is $300 more.

thanks!

None of the Roof spoilers come with 3rd brake lights. They mount on top of your 3rd light and it looks like 1 piece. You should be fine with yours. Just test fit it and you will see.

correct, none of them has the 3rd brake light, they just go over the roof / on top of the existing factory one

Funny thing is that when I had mines installed, my wife asked if they'd also ran the wires to the brake light. She never noticed the brake light was already on the roof of the car.
