japanese people like to offroad their civics, so they need the wiper/squirter on the rear windshield to clear off all the dirt and mud....

bwahaha.

Yeah, no doubt!
They all need to go street racing on Fuji mountain and stuff
Of course they need some wipers everywhere.
Watch out they're gonna come up with some driver-side and passenger-side wipers in 2004 models

Reading this I am under the impression that you view JDM as a company. Please tell me I am wrong.

not really...
JDM (Japanese Domestic Market)
I meant say, Japanese Domestic Market (I'm not talking about one company, but market as a whole) has some different approach to design their cars to sell.

Cool, but I think you should not do the conversion, it adds weight. Granted it would be pretty cool and not that many people know about it (I'm assuming this, I have no clue) But in the end it's up to you. Good luck with whatever you do.

I think rear window wipers are good, I've seen Skylines and Accords from Japan with them, also. I don't know why you never see coupes or sedans in this country w/ rear wipers, only hatchbacks and wagons and SUV's.

I doubt you would be able to do it, though, since you would have to drill into your glass and I don't think you want to be doing that.

actually, if you want to do it, you would replace your 3rd light for the gear box, you would also need to redo the wiring, and run it all the way up to the dash, even with the squarter, you need a pump from the front, to run the line.
you would also need to replace the windshield wipper controller, i think you can use the acura integra one, it fits on the civics, just add the extra wires on the switch.
here's some pics:


i think you would need the rear cover too, the USDM one has a big hole for the 3rd brake light.

damn those Ferio SiR came with some nice stock speakers.
while your at it, get JDM rear seats YO!


i dont see any point of doing this, waste of money and time.
i think you're just JDM brain wash.

damn i think i know too much, although i never own a honDUH
