DO IT!!! then paint the wiper lime green, get a 3ft aluminum wing to compliment your poorly fitting body kit, a bunch of stickers of companies you don't have anything from, and neons all over the inside of the car and engine bay....stick on hood scoops for that extra show factor as well

I have never directly compared the two, but there are almost certainly differences in mounting points, linkage lengths, etc., as well as differences in windshield size and cowl design. It might be possible to modify the kit to work, but the chances of it being a straight bolt-on are extremely slim.

Everyone else - it was a legitimate technical fitment question for an Integra. You may not agree with the style or function of the product, but try to limit the discussion to the actual topic rather than the all-too-common flaming.

yeah i guess your right. In my Vw days (like 15 years ago) we did this to those cars because it is called a Euro wiper. We used to take the drivers side wiper off and position the pasenge wiper in the the right position to get it to be a single wiper setup. The down fall to these wiper set-ups is the fact that the wipers don't work efficient enough and the wiper is always in the middle of the windshield when the wipers are in the off position. Although I don't approve of euro anything on my hondas but I loved the euro wiper on my 84' Rabbit GTI!

Yes, it's more common among the VW crowd. However, what you're describing is different from what is being discussed here. The OP is asking about an actual mono-wiper conversion kit, not simply repositioning the passenger wiper. True mono-wiper conversions actually work quite effectively . I have a Bonrath kit on my car, and it sweeps the whole windshield and parks low on the driver's side.
