I always dreamed of having sequential turns on my car :P
pardon me sir but that is very easy to do, just tell me how big do you need it

That's what she said. :wink:

Umm, I have no idea at the moment. I'll be sure to let you know if I get serious about them though...I'd have to remove the taillamp fixture and get a good look at the insides to see how to mount/wire em up and stuff.

I like the look of no rear wiper on your Dub but I think you need to shave the hole instead of plugging it. It looks a little cluttered to me.

Unfortunately I need a rear wiper on a hatchback. It's not practical w/o it.

Did it look that bad with the wiper?

I need to use my rear wiper every time it rains, since it's hard to see through the window otherwise.

it didn't look that bad, but again the wiper didn't really do anything the last few times it rained (but make it worse) so i figured i can live without it.

I think it looks cleaner now.

Nice pics and stuff. Does it not tie into your horn, I didn't hear any blips, but I guess it gets annoying after a while doesn't it?

The alarm has a separate horn for alarm chirps, and that happens to be disconnected by the previous owner.
It happens to be located underneath the driver's side raintray, and the wiper arms were being stubborn so I didn't feel like digging in there and reconnecting it.

It does feel a bit weird, though, without a chirp...when I install my ECU chip I'll probably end up finding that horn connection, theyre in the same spot.
