PRL sells a kit. There are also a couple of videos you YT with a step by step.

Wait, whuut? Someone MAKES a Civic Hatch Rear Wiper delete kit? One of my absolute hugest gripes about the FL5 Type R is the mere exsistence of the rear wiper and washer and all the doohickies that come along with that.
I gotta see this.

Got around to picking up my cargo mat from TorontoHondaParts and just "installed" it.

Also got the Project Aero lip but not sure if I should paint it gloss black or SGP....

It looks awesome. I've seen on a few of the cars around here at local meets. Just not sure if I can justify 4 grand for it lol. It's almost double in price!

It's shocking how much they're charging in Canada for this part. This is a sub-$2k (USD) shipped part.

It’s crazy. I’m better off buying in the US and getting brought up by a relative. Pricing at College Hills Honda below. Even with exchange rates now, that brings it up to $2700. Could probably get it cheaper if I look hard enough.

It’s that maple syrup tax ?

Ike Honda allegedly sells OEM Type R parts and accessories at "cost". There is/was a price sheet in circulation on one of the Civic Type R FB groups. It's worth a look given what the Honda dealerships in Canada are trying to charge - grand theft.

You can also order the part in the US and many places will deliver it to Canada. Just need to be careful with custom and brokerage fees that carriers might charge.

Order solution is ti deliver it to a place near the border and go grab it yourself from there. Then, just taxes and duties are applied.

Ya. I’m hoping to get one eventually. It is pricy
