Because the sticker said "PIO" next to the spoiler option and price.
AND, because I had a package shelf 3rd brake lamp!!

I'm starting to get a bit aggravated over this whole thing. There's no way I'm paying $750 for the rear deck that was supposed to be on the car in the first place.
The rear package shelf is ~$200.00.
I actually removed it to check the tint, the dealer handed me my new one to install.

It won't have the grills installed, be careful when you transplant yours.

Okay, that makes sense. On my car, it doesn't have "POI" next to the spoiler option.

My car had the spoiler added, and I have the 3rd brake light obviously. I just disconnected it when I installed my spoiler. I don't even notice it there.

Just picked up my 2010 G37S 6speed with tech pack two days ago brand new.

Because of this thread, i was freaked thinking the tinter would cut out around the 3rd brake light.

Turns out my car DOES NOT COME WITH THE 2ND THIRD BRAKE LIGHT!!

Whew!

I think it was a supply issue. If your coupe has a factory-installed spoiler, it should have come with a flat parcel shelf. When I got my coupe, they were all coming in with the third brake light on the parcel shelf whether or not the rear spoiler was factory installed.

My tint place didn't have to remove the rear deck to tint the whole window. They must be pro

Are you sure they didn't remove it? The housing comes up close to the glass and I don't know how they would be able to smooth out the tint behind the housing unless they have something slim enough to fit in that tiny space.

my tinter was located close to my infiniti dealership and they do most of the dealerships tints. im not sure if they removed teh deck or not but since they have done alot of G's already, i think they knew the rear deck can be removed in 5 minutes and thats what they did.

I also have two 3rd brake lights on my car since I have a dealer installed spoiler and they did not disconnect the brake light in the rear window. I want the brake light disconnected, and I might eventually replace the shelf with one without the brake light.

I took a peek through the holes where the trunk light is and I can see what looks like two cables, one headed to the left and the other to the right.




Can anyone lead me in the right direction for disconnecting the brake light in the rear window?
