Hit post reply, then use the 'browse' button (located between the message text box and the submit button) to find the picture on your hard drive.

Rear shot..
Sans wiper.... I just removed the inner hatch panel, removed the motor, and screwed my custom plug on. I turned a steel domed button on the lathe and welded a half inch threaded rod on,fine sanded the surface then, painted it body color, and cleared it.I also made a thin rubber ring to go undeit to seal it to the hatch. It was the first thing I did after I got my Z. I did it with my 300zx also. The roof line and backlight are much smoother looking now.
