Firebird 3rd brake light?

Does anyone know if I can replace the shroud around the 3rd brakelight of my Formula without removing the spoiler? I have the aero-style wraparound spoiler.

I will be attempting this this week on my Formula
I'll let ya know.
i found a formula in the salvage yeard with the spoiler still on it (it's in bad shape though) so i will be seeing how hard it will be to get off with the spoiler still on.

cool....I'm hoping all I have to do is loosen the spoiler from inside the hatch area and lift up just enough to pull the shroud out.
A detail shop broke a piece of it off with a buffer wheel..so be warned they are fragile!

one of the sides on mine was broken off when i bought the car.
it looks like the bolts come out on the bottom, (inside) and i'm hoping it just be as easy as sliding it out and unpluging the light

I tried unbolting without moving the spoiler and it wont come out. It looks like the spoiler has to be lifted a little.
