Default Soarer Wing question

I searched around but I can't get a definitive answer, so hopefully someone here has some personal experience -

Is the soarer wing the same as the 92-96? I've been looking but it looks like the soarer wing is a little bigger, but I don't know if it was just the way the photo had been taken. Also, what wings got third brake lights and which ones didn't? I've seen both, but I don't know if its something aftermarket I stumbled on.

Thanks

I'm 99% certain this is the 97+ Soarer wing

Kinda similar but is taller, has a gap under it and doesn't project sideways past the line of the boot



Both JDM spoilers had brake lights

Not trying to thread jack but I have a wing that looks like the one pictured on the 92-96 and mine sits further back and lower. Closer to the body lines. My trunk lid looks more rounded than the wing. My wing looks like it was sitting on a more square trunk lid. I have hear that either sc300 had rounded trunks and 400's where more squared. Is that true? I like the way mine sits lower and flows with the body more. Just curious!

Every body panel is identical between models, there is no difference except for some minor trim stuff

I have compared it to another SC300 wing and it looks different. Mine sits lower and further back on the trunk lid. Hope fully you can see that it is not flush to my trunk even though it is close.

That was kind of what I was thinking. I looks nice though unless you get down low and look up at it.

I like my spoiler too. I think it flows better other than the gaps on the underside.
