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! :( Craigster :wavey: Attachment 66788 Attachment 66789 Attachment 66790 Attachment 66791 Attachment 66792 Notice something else missing? :D |
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.

Now people won't be able to tell what my "Fitster" is! :rotfl: |
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?

looks great! The write-up is a bit confusing but I'll read it over and over to try and get my thick head to understand everything lol

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
