Need body trim piece measurement...

Guys,

I want to remove the brake light from my 2009 Carrera S and it looks like one solution would be to replace the trim piece that has the brake light in it by the turbo version as my understanding is that on the Turbo cars, the only brake light is in the spoiler.

But before I proceed, could anyone that have a Turbo give me a width measurement for the piece? Since the Turbo is a widebody car and mine is a narrowbody, I would like to make sure it will fit before I order it. I think it is the same but who knows...

(see attached picture)

Thanks in advance,

T.

Interesting question. The width difference in the wide body comes from the fenders so I'm assuming that the body piece you're looking for is the same length wide and narrow...but someone will measure I'm sure.
