Not sure about the wiring but how does that spoiler cover the holes from the factory spoiler? Did you get it from Saleen or Stage3?

You'd probably get an answer if you checked with the guys in the Saleen forums.

Yeah it covers all the holes... granted you get the correct year spoiler...

I picked it up from Stage 3 Motorsports.... one of the only places I will actually spend my money...Bill over there is awesome...

I would assume your car had an exsisting third brake light that worked, if thats the case just extend the hot lead from that and attach it to the red lead off the new light. The black lead should be ground, make sure its grounded good.

I spliced the black wire from the "plug" to the black wire on Saleen's brake light...the red wire needs to be connected to the solid green wire...ironically I had it set-up like this and it was working all along, I just didn't know it...

Did you have to remove the factory 3rd brake light to get the saleen wiring to the factory wiring? My S281 spoiler just showed yesterday from Haney.

I removed (and sold) my 3rd brake light when I installed my saleen wing. You need the hole there to feed the wire through.

The bodyshop just fed the wire through one of the holes in the trunk.

Stangless, You mean like one of the unused original GT spoiler bolt holes?

Yep. But it has wire going from the right side, to the middle and looks a little tacky. I have to go to work soon, but I can take a picture tomorrow morning.
