I was planning on it but I really wanted to get it done today so I didnt want to wait on paint to come in the mail because Im not sure where to get the DB besides the internet.

Its a fuacet hole cover. You can get it at Lowes, Home Depot, or Menards in the sink and faucet isle. It comes in white, cream, and black. I got the cream one and painted it myself.

curious as to why didn't you paint it the same color? You took the time to remove the wiper so you wouldn't have to see it, now your looking at this black plug.

I found a plug from Ace Hardware that sat flush with the trunk. I think it's better than the faucet plug. I have to take a picture of it tomorrow.

Now delete the squirt nozzle and the transformation will be complete.

Or wrap it in cf. easy and cheap. Or get it welded etc. looks good. Makes more of a diff then people think. It's fine like that IMO. No biggies. Good job!!

Good&easy job.
Well done!
Will look great when the plug is painted.
Personally,I'm not a big fan of removing the rear wiper.
Sure,it looks great.But a operating rear wiper sure serves a
purpose in my area of the country.
Also,just my opinion...not diggin your wheels.18's?
Man,they look small.I'd work on the look of the wheels before
I'd do a small detail like removing the rear wiper.

I did this 2 weeks ago, definitely glad I did it. My paint match is a little off though. I went to auto zone and got a rattle can of the closest color i could find but damn San Marino blue is so hard to match.

You can purchase small pieces, by the way.

That looks pretty sweet! How difficult was it to remove the wiper assembly? Did you ever get the CF wrap by chance?

After I painted the faucet hole cover, removing the wiper and installing the cover took me litterally 5 minutes. Im very mechanically inclined but anyone with a brain could do this with their eyes closed. Its very easy to do and it gives you something to do any time you have some down time and youre board. Plus it really makes a big difference to the car.
