Exclamation DIY...iKONA's Badge/Wiper Delete Trim Installation


Panel is held on by white clips. Pull forcefully to remove trim panel.










I filled the remaining electrical connector with grease and wire tied it.




Remove factory trim...




Install iKONA's trim. Check fitment before tightening nuts! Fill connector with grease and wire tie!


Reset clips like so...


Reinsert pull...



The FIT badge comes off next!

Make sure not to over tighten nuts so the studs don't detach from panel.

awesome write-up!

if there's enough interest in the grille that i've proposed, i'll be doing a write-up with the installation for that piece soon as it's delivered to my door

Thumbs up J...Let me know if you want any of these e-mailed!
J... and fellow FitFreaks!

These are today's pictures after washing (not drying) the car. Let me know which ones you want me to e-mail to you. PM e-mail to me, if you want to.

This VBP has got to be the worst color for water spots!

Uhh you have no rear spoiler so assuming you are a base fit. Can't think of anything else that should be there after having the badgeless wiperless garnish.

Ohh your fit badge is gone. I just didn't even bother looking for it because there are soo many people without them and I haven't had one for the longest time.

Yeah, even though it was 35F when I washed the car, the sun really heated things up so I removed it and used GooBeGone to remove the adhesive!

Now people won't be able to tell what my "Fitster" is!

it looks like either the garnish sits a couple millimeters too high or the rubber seal needs to be pulled out from behind the top of it. every piece i've seen installed from iKONA looks like it has this issue, I'm not sure if it's something about his product or just an overlooked aspect of installation. anyone else see this?

+100 REP for you, brother!

I tried to make the DIY flow, but I must not be THAT good at it.

Idea: add a "Tools you will need" at the beginning of the DIY. Also, the 2nd pic wtf is that? Is that what's underneath the hatch window? I have to remove the whole back panel? That worries me lol
