Should I take the Dealer Installed Spoiler?

Here's the Deal,

Ordered my Red 6mt coupe, premium, aero, splsh, bsm, graphite in May.
Dealer placed the order in June, It'll be a 2004 model when it comes in late August.

Talking to the salesman today he says they didn't order it aero from the factory - that the spoiler will be put on at the dealership.

My question is - can someone looking at my car tell that the spoiler wasn't factory installed?
I've read that some dealers don't even remove the rear window 3rd brake light at all.

Those of you who have dealer installed rear spoilers - does this bother you?

My decision is whether or not to re-order and wait another 3-months for a factory (port) installed one.

What would you do?

i heard something like this. dealers can work the profit better if they install as oppose to order.

had mine installed at the dealer, and yes they left the middle brake light, doesn't really bother me though because with the tint i can't see it anyway.

Thanks for the feedback.

For those with Dealer installed spoilers - can you see the rear window stoplight in the rearview mirror? I'm very picky and little things like that drive me crazy!

Does anyone think this might have an affect on re-sale?

I just had mine installed yesterday:

As long as the dealer rewires it to the spoiler's LED brake lights, the third brake light doesn't bother me.

Re: Should I take the Dealer Installed Spoiler?

I bought a coupe without aero (spoiler) and it had the 3rd brake light.. I swapped trunks with someone (he had a spoiler, I didn't) and disconnected the cable to power the 3rd brake light. My windows are tinted too so no one knows that I have one, all they see is the brake light from my spoiler.

Just a note. IF YOU DO HAVE THE 3rd brake light on there, it's staying on there because if you take it out, your going to be left with a huge hole underneath.

Re: Should I take the Dealer Installed Spoiler?

Went to the Dealership yesterday for a test drive and a closer look at the spoiler/brakelight.

1st thing I noticed is that there is absolutley no tinting on the rear window. That 3rd taillight is very visible without tint.
Inside the car, with the rear seat up, about 1" of the taillight assembly can be seen in the rearview.

Saleman said they might come out with a "kit" to cover the hole if they remove the light. He said they already have one out for the sedan.

Thanks for all the posts!
