Default Who wants to get rid of the rear wiper?

Wanna get rid of your rear wiper/motor to make the car look cleaner and shave a tiny bit of weight?

I have kits now in stock for doing this. I did it on my car and it looks clean.
All OEM parts from Civic/Integra. Includes the metal plug, rubber bushings, washers and bolt.
If interested hit me up in email... not IM.
mikek@typeRparts.com

The kit is $19.95 plus shipping and I have two kits in stock right now.
Thanks.

How about just shaving the ugly stock antenna and putting a fuba in place of the stock squirter?

That's a good deal for all 4 parts (plug, bushing, washer, bolt). however, you just need to buy the plug (which is still $15+) and you can re-use the bushing and the bolt from the original wiper/motor setup. Just my 2 cents.

I did mine using some valve cover grommets and a bolt and nut. I'll take pics of it one day.

Ross - if you never use your rear windshield wiper, all the rain beads drops off. However, once you start using the wiper, the glass holds water beads. For me, it's easier to let water beads drop off the rear windshield than a wiper bugging my rear view.

Hey Mike K. This is Crescent from C-SPEED.

Can you send me a pic of what the plug looks like? (either installed or not)
Cody and I are going to be putting in a pretty substantial order with you next week. If this plug is decent, i'd like to throw that into the order as well.

Please let me know if you have pics. Thanks again.

Did the wiper removal thing on my R, and I is happy with it. The wing obstructs as it is. Taking that wiper out sure did make rear vsibility much better. Highly recommended..

I'm really thinking about this mod, I like the wiper but I have a customers car here that has the wiper and antenna removed and it looks so much smoother.
