Default no 3rd brake like now after new spoiler, what to do?

ok, i just put a spoon replica spoiler on my EK and it doesnt have a 3rd brake light, i was thinking of taking a brake light from an integra and somehow sticking it to my back window. I haven't gotten pulled over for it yet, but i dont want to take the chance

what have you guys done to fix this or add a 3rd brake light, and I want it to look clean, so no duct taping **** on the window, lol

any other suggestions besides taking off the spoiler would be great!

I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to not have a high-mount brake light.

Here's Wisconsin Law:

You only need two rear stop lamps.

The CHMSL was/is required on the federal level, and as far as I'm aware, the lack of of an individual state requirement does not negate the federal law.

Even regardless of the law, it's a good safety feature to have.

JDM_EK_wanabe, check out parts/accessories sites such as JC Whitney for a decent selection of aftermarket CHMSL's.
