Default Got My 1st REAL Sports Car

Just picked up my 1st REAL sports car. My first ever car was a new 1970 Firebird (yeah, I'm old), but that was a straight ahead muscle car. Since then; many cars... all sensible kid raising cars... this time I got a new 2012 GM Z 7AT Touring version. I ordered the aerodynamic package, but it won't be installed until next week. Does the rear spoiler incorporate the existing brake light or is there a different one in the spoiler?

Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on your Z. The spoiler sits above the existing brake light.

So the existing brake light is "covered" by the spoiler?
