Perhaps the sport and non-sport have a different hatch? I don't see the bump across the back on mine hiding under the spoiler as shown on the silver one.

I think this link might answer the question about the rear spoiler and the brake light:

Nissan Spoilers - Nissan Car Spoiler 370Z, Altima, Maxima, Versa

If you scroll down about 1/4 of the page you'll see what I mean. It shows that the spoiler is available painted or unpainted and no light is included.

Also, they use the term "rear spoiler with integrated 3rd brake light" and the word "integrated" means: combining or coordinating separate elements so as to provide a harmonious, interrelated whole. So wouldn't that mean the light is part of the trunk and the spoiler is a separate part making it appear to be one piece?

I didn't like the spoiler at first...but then I saw it in person and it flows very nicely with the car. Now there's no way I would get one without the spoiler.

However, if you factory ordered the car then maybe you can tell them that you want the sports package minus the rear spoiler. I'm sure they can do something for you if it's factory ordered from japan.

By literal definition it would mean the that spoiler includes the 3rd brake light, and that it is not a separate piece. I'm going to go take a close up look at mine right now - but I'm not taking it apart :)

The factory spoiler does NOT include the third brake light—it is designed to flow around it and make use of the standard third brake light on all 370Zs.

Yep, SoCal is right - I just looked at it up close.

If I looked at the diagram in the second post it should have been obvious.

Just like I said earlier. ;)

Rear Spoiler Removal
 

I totally agree I love the look of the car with out the rear spoiler and I even asked the dealer if I could just order a hatch without the spoiler and have them swap it. But I'm sure the cost of a whole hatch would be a couple
grand. lol

hey everyone... i'm new here. i bought a rear spoiler for my base 370 z from e-bay (a girl had her replaced with a nismo kit) thinking i got a good deal since i got it for a lot cheaper... until i went to a local body shop to find out the grommets to attach it is missing, tried to contact the seller but that's history. anyways, just seeing if anybody can help me with this, like any other means of installing it - adhesive only, or somewhere to buy the kit. thanks.....
