well my jdm exterior conversion is almost done
only part i don't have yet is the rear glass w/ wiper, but i'm working on it. a few of these items are extremely rare and were a task in a half to source and get here.
after i get back from vacation i'll install the rest of the parts and get some quality photos. but this will do for now

i desperately want a rear window with a wiper for my sedan.
i started out driving subaru wagons and hatchbacks and i have been spoiled by thier clean rear windows.

well im back form vaca, need to borrow a good high lift jack so i can acutally fit under my car to install the sideskits and aero gaurds
sn-jdmhot, you can't request or buy anyhting from japan for them to get here...they get what they get...i just lucked out they actually had legacy parts from 2 containers ago. rest of my stuff i have bought in japan form private sellers and had it shipped here.

yeah they have a website with a spreadsheet of the stuff they have:
http://www.jdmhot.com/
The shitty thing is that they don't like people coming around and it's $20 to pick up parts. And they're like 10min from me.

No, they get parts containers from Japan that are from Japanese wrecking yards, then re-sell the parts to all us American JDM freaks who want what we normally cant have! lol : (So sayeth the dude shipping parts that he doesnt really need from Australia, and Germany...)

electrical tape
yeah good idea with the plastic, you could do everything for cheap yourself

I'd use a 1/16" piece of polycarbonate, cut it with a jigsaw, paint it from the backside, and attach with double-sided trim tape.
