Thanks, is there any additional adhesive material I am going to need to worry about ?

I stand corrected

. Impressive how well it all blends together when the spoiler is installed.

If you are not in a hurry to spend a lot of money in the body shop, think about this. Try to find someone in your area that has a none sport 370 that is the same color as your car. Maybe they could be talked into exchanging hatch's? Saves everyone alot of money in the end. Now if you are in a hurry and can't wait for more cars to develop in your area, all bets are off.

Looks like it's integrated into the spoiler on mine.

It looks like it but it's not. The picture I posted was the US version car. Dare to take your spoiler apart to find out the truth?

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?

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
