Default does OEM spoiler block the 3rd brake light?

Because I saw sewell sells a kit to move your 3rd brake light higher

Does the "real" factory equipped spoiler cars have the brake light relocated?

I debated this as well. After I put it on my car you can easily see the 3rd brake light with the spoiler on. Don't get the kit!

Next time I'm behind an ISx50 on the freeway or streets, I'll report back if there is an obstruction...
