Wonder if you could mod that so that you could keep the rear sprayer.
Yeah.. since I removed the wiper, the sprayer still serves a purpose..I aimed it so it squirts straight out for tailgaters

Yeah, I did that too . I personally feel that the sprayer is worthless even when the wiper works. If you try to use it while moving, all the water just stays at the top of the hatch and doesnt run down depending on where its aimed. I dont have the patience to aim, test drive, aim, test drive, etc just to try and get it right. If my windows are so increadibly dirty (never happens) that I would actually need to use it, I would just stop at a service station and wash them.

Also, about my license plate frame... Its "stacked" under my personalized plate so that it only looks as if I have a personalized plate, yet when you step on the brake a "halo" of red light illuminates the license plate and other surrounding areas. So, you cant even tell its there till I use it, which I personally think attracts even more attention... "Hey...Wheres that light coming from?"... As they rear end me examining the car trying to figure it out, lol (knocking on wood).

PS - For those of you curious, the license plate frame says on the top "Mazda RX-7" and on the bottom "The Honda Killer" .

I installed a 3rd brake light, it's a row of led's about 20
i'd say. mounted inside,where the headliner has that gap, in the back window. can't even tell/ or see it untill the brakes are applyed. pretty brite too.

I thought about filling it with something also, but you have to remember, when you squirt it, it still dribbles some on your car also, no matter how far away it sprays.

im not a big fan of adding junk to a body. and i also think that a external light would mess up the body lines on a fb....BUT not so on the silver 1 AKA RAZOR( i took the pics) its VERY tasteful and blends right in with the body. and HELL YE Ait gets your atten... maybe even more if it blinked like the newer hondas 3rd lights do.

Why doesn't someone post some pics of these cars w/the lights. Inside or out, let's see who's pulled it off the best, eh?

ooo! ooo! I can see it! What'd I win now?




That looks like a good idea... They sell things like that at Canadian tire with chrome ends on them, meant for going on the outside of a truck (running boards, etc).

Looks nice and unobtrusive Mark, just what I want. Is it aftermarket? or off an existing car?

It's off of a honda spoiler/wing thing. the reason i choose that one, is because it's real thin, but bright !
the space or gap of the headliner just looks like the perfect area for somthing like a 3rd brake lite. real easy to do too.
