3rd brake light spoiler?

Does anyone make a factory-style rear spoiler with an integrated 3rd brake light? I wish Toyota/Subaru had stuck the 3rd brake light in the spoiler like Toyota did with its MT IS300s or in the trunk lid like Mazda did with the NB Miata...

If not a spoiler, does anyone make a trunk trim panel with a 3rd brake light in it?

Failing all that, does anyone make an factory-style trunk spoiler in FRP? I think FRP is easier to modify than ABS (correct me if I am wrong).

Like many others, I don't like how the stock 3rd brake light sticks up; blocks my view of vehicles behind me.

If necessary, I may end up just bolting on a surface mount 3rd brake light strip to the trunk trim, as tacky as that may be...

Thanks.



Edit:
Oops. I just realized I put this in the wrong subforum (when I went to look for it in "Cosmetic Modifications"). Can it be moved? Thanks.

Even if you had to cut the tint at the contact points it would be better than bolting a surface mount to the trunk trim.

it always uses a stock clip in the headliner for some support as well
