JDM rear wiper components
Just in from Japanparts. I had bought the rear glass and wiper motor from Garage Tuning. The rest I had to buy seperately...I thought I could use the same components from an OBS but apparently the part # differ so I just ended up getting these...

1 Wiper....10 components...Major PITA!!!

The wiper motor cover for the rear decklid

Wiper arm

Wiper blade

Wiper arm bolt cover

Spray nozzle

Inner/outer grommets(same part x2)


Plastic cap

M6 Nut

That'd be sweet. I was thinking of getting an OBS tank with twin sprayers....My Spec C tank might get in the way of anything going in the trunk...

I've got a 12L for the trunk of my Unicorn. Also have a twin windshield tank for the front. But.. I've got allllll the hardware coming for the rear. I just need the glass now.

How did you mount your 12L? Running meth?

No meth... It mounts perfectly like it would have been from the factory. I think I layed the 2 support bars over the cross beam thats behind the back seat. Lined up the brackets with some holes that were already in the decklid and I think I had the drill 2 more holes. It was a while ago. Then wired it in and replaced the Cruise cntrl button with a I/C water spray button.

That sounds pretty awesome! I'm going to have to pick your brain on that a little later... If you don't mind?

I'm looking forward to seeing it out of the paint shop.

I think I just may have found my next set of wheels. Seeing if Gruppe S can convince Enkei to send a set over from Japan....Fingers crossed!

17x8 +48 Enkei RC-T4 in Bronze wrapped in 235-40 Direzza Star Specs



EDIT:Neither GruppeS nor SpeedElement can get those wheels....But Rallispec can get them in less than 2 weeks...WOOT!

Pics of the Progress...
Some pics I snapped today at the bodyshop...

Using the template I made, I installed the RA roof vent door and outlined the hole for them to cut...I had to leave before the cut was made...



I made the cut out for the Rear wiper motor in the decklid since this would be a major PITA if the glass was installed already...



And Test fitting some Ricer part...





And this beautiful FD was sitting in the shop...The owner is a specialist in custom CF pieces...and this car is a showcase of his work..
