I think it looks pretty good without the 3rd brake light.
+1 looks different, yet clean at the same time. I like it.
it would only work on verts with a third brake light in the lightbar
Isn't a third brake-light required by law? I think the stock Terminator spoiler looks much better, even at a higher price. Oh, and check pricing through Tousley Ford. You get the part for 10% over cost. 1-800-328-9552 ask for Steve or Kevin.
You can even get it cheaper here Mustang Wings by ABC Exclusive
I always liked the saleen wing
yea 10% over cost for the termi wing is like $480 + shipping. its primer only with no 3rd brake light
Waiting for the "termi" ninjas to arrive
id be all over that if it had a 3rd brake light.....:cuss:
I thought is was requirement since the 90's:shrug:
Keep looking, I got my 03 wing in white for $300 w/o a 3rd brake light. Picked up the 3rd brake light for $125 shipped.

[edit] Centre High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL)
LED CHMSL retrofitted on a 1974 ValiantIn North America since 1986, in Australia and New Zealand since 1990, and in Europe since 1998, a central brake lamp, mounted higher than the vehicle's left and right brake lamps and called a Centre High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL), is also required. The CHMSL (pronounced /ˈtʃɪmzəl/) is also sometimes referred to as the centre brake lamp, the third brake light, the eye-level brake lamp, the safety brake lamp, the high-level brake lamp, or the Liddy Light (for Elizabeth Dole, who as U.S. Secretary of Transportation presided over its introduction in the United States[51]). The CHMSL may produce light by means of a single central filament bulb, a row or cluster of filament bulbs or LEDs, or a strip of Neon tube.
The CHMSL is intended to provide a deceleration warning to following drivers whose view of the vehicle's left and right stop lamps is blocked by interceding vehicles. It also helps to disambiguate brake vs. turn signal messages in North America, where red rear turn signals identical in appearance to stop lamps are permitted, and also can provide a redundant stop light signal in the event of a stop lamp malfunction. The CHMSL is required to illuminate steadily; it is not permitted to flash except in certain cases under severe braking.[52][53]
On passenger cars, the CHMSL may be placed above the back glass, affixed to the vehicle's interior just inside the back glass, or it may be integrated into the vehicle's deck lid or into a spoiler. Other specialised fitments are sometimes seen; the Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Freelander have the CHMSL on a stalk fixed to the spare wheel carrier. Trucks, vans and commercial vehicles sometimes have the CHMSL mounted to the trailing edge of the vehicle's roof. The CHMSL is required by regulations worldwide to be centred laterally on the vehicle, though ECE R48 permits lateral offset of up to 15 cm if the vehicle's lateral centre is not coincident with a fixed body panel, but instead separates movable components such as doors.[15] The Renault Master van, for example, uses a laterally offset CHMSL for this reason. The height of the CHMSL is also regulated, in absolute terms and with respect to the mounting height of the vehicle's conventional left and right stop lamps.[54] Depending on the left and right lamps' height, the lower edge of the CHMSL may be just above the left and right lamps' upper edge.
[edit] History
The 1968–1971 Ford Thunderbird could be ordered with additional high-mounted stop and turn signal lights.[citation needed] These were fitted in strips on either side of its small rear window. The Oldsmobile Toronado from 1971–1978, and the Buick Riviera from 1974-1976 had dual high-mounted supplemental stop/turn lights as standard, and were located just below the bottom of the backglass, above and ahead of the conventional left and right stop/tail/turn lights. This type of configuration was not widely adopted at the time. Auto and lamp manufacturers in Germany experimented with dual high-mount supplemental stop lamps in the early 1980s,[55] but this effort, too, failed to gain wide popular or regulatory support.
Early studies involving taxicabs and other fleet vehicles found that a third stop lamp reduced rear-end collisions by about 50%. The lamp's novelty probably played a role, since today the lamp is credited with reducing collisions by about 5%.[56]
In 1986, the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada mandated that all new passenger cars have a CHMSL installed. A CHMSL was required on all new light trucks and vans starting in 1994. CHMSLs are so inexpensive to incorporate into a vehicle that even if the lamps prevent only a few percent of rear end collisions they remain a cost-effective safety feature.[56]
