Take off the wiperblade and the little piece to expose the 10mm nut. Unclip the wiper motor harness, unbolt the 3 bolts keeping the motor secured. Unbolt the 10mm nut on the outside to let the motor fall out (have one hand inside holding the motor and one hand unbolting the nut on the outside). Remove the rubber wiper grommet thing. Unbolt the main bolt keeping the existing garnish attached. Push the 2 black clips and 3 white clips up and out to push the garnish off. Now take ikona's garnish, take off the washers/nuts he provides, slide all the screws into the holes. Make sure the rubber underneath the rear glass goes over or flush with the garnish. Don't let it get pinched. Use a flathead carefully to pull the rubber out if that happens. Put the washers/nuts on tightly, I think they were 8 or 9mm. Then put the big inside panel back on (press so all the clips pop back in). Then reinstall the pull handle by just sliding it in til it clicks. Boom, all done! Sorry I don't have pics to explain. I'll take pics of the shop manual instructions when I get around to it. Hope that helps!
thanks that helps explain it a bit. Pic of the book wont be nesesary. I just recently picked up a survice manual my self, handy little thing.

I kept my wiper being in WI it is kinda a must. It is pretty easy to install. You just take off the inside panel of the hatch which is just held on by a few clips. You have to take the wiper off the car and the wiper motor which is just a few bolts then you pop that bad boy off and replace it.


here is a link to a diy a member did for them.

My mom called me a moron when I showed her what I did lol. NJ winter can get bad, but still, rear wipers are pointless no matter where you live...Use an ice scraper before driving, or SOMETHING.

the gunmetal/red tails from hondafittuner.com

I sprayed them with 2 coats of Nite Shades. Looks shitty up close, like a bunch of spiderweb cracks or something, but whatever. Looks better dark lol
Thanks for the compliment

My Ksport coilovers are coming in soon~~ cant wait to install them... then my car is 100% complete~

Sadly, just met up with my Dubber friends and they are saying my car is too ricey... I dunno... what do you guys think? @@

I didnt do much cosmetic changes for the past year... just regular maintenance...

It's not rice. You have a turbo. You could draw penises all over the car and it wouldn't matter.
Good luck with the KSports. I wanna get rid of mine. The ride around NJ is waayyyy too harsh and the seat already hurts my back, so this is just ridiculous and frustrating to drive around

Ummm... I was deciding between T1R and Ksport. The crew in GVRD are 50/50 split... perhaps I should just resell my Ksport without touching it? and get T1R instead? Soooo confused~

Who knows, you might like them. I dunno how BC is but NJ is pre-tty damn harsh. My alignment is thrown 30-40 degrees out of whack. It was only a few degrees after KSports, but now 2 months later, NJ roads destroyed it. Might just go back to *ugh* stock...

I hear you there. Just washed my car yesterday and went over it twice with wax and it already is covered with bug guts up front and the entire car is covered in pollen so it has a yellow tint to it. Also it is supposed to rain this weekend so I will probably have tons of water spots and mud and crap on the car again.
