Should I get a spoiler now?

So I went and got my windows tinted this week, limo tint on a black sedan. It looks great! I really like the look now. But when they put the tint on the rear window, they covered the area where the 3rd brake light is. I like that, because it finishes the rear window (I'm not a fan of cutting around that light) but now, it's kinda difficult to see the 3rd light. The only reason I would get the spoiler, is the brake light in it. I would disconnect the light on the rear deck, and connect the one in the spoiler. Any opinions? I ask, because it is a sedan, and a civic, so it really doesn't need a spoiler, but the 3rd light might help. Thanks in advance.

edit: *spelling*

If anything, get an OEM wing. That would probably look the best on a sedan.

I posted a thread about the JDM sedan wing, purchased at autodynamic.com You dont have to disconnect the 3rd brake light wiring, there shuold be extra wires in the trunk for you to play with. After that, it's absolutely blinding for those behind me in the dark spots at night b/c of the extra brake light now.

I don't know if they make those for sedans. I thought the way the lights on the trunk lid fit, the deck lip wouldn't fit right, at least the one for the coupe wouldn't fit.

don't take my word for it, but this ebay company seems to have the best deal on OEM spoilers. personally, i don't order from ebay unless the seller has something around 1 negative per 100 feedbacks. pretty, uhhh, "strict" i guess, but if i'm buying something like a spoiler, i want to know who i'm paying. i heard really good things about this place/person from another member on here (something like "cmk" and a number...?). she said they did a good job with the paint-matching. and she called them up before she bid, so i guess that right there shows that they're not a half-assed company run from a garage or something (i GUESS?). oh, by the way, they sell the 2001-2003 civic spoiler for around 80 primed, and 140-160 painted and shipped (within US; i don't know about canada). pretty good deal IMO. i plan on buying from them later on......

and yeah, you should def get a spoiler. it makes our cars look sooooo much better. good luck buying...

The OEM rear wing spoiler comes with the wiring to hook into the third brake light wiring. It will disable the original thrid brake light and activate the one on the wing spoiler.

If you can figure out how, I'd like to know so I could get my original light working too.
