I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

open the hatch and look in the center there should be a black plug. take that plug out and there is a bolt hiding under there. undo that bolt and the rest of the bolts. and it will pop right off.

well I got it installed and the fitment turned out to be good. But now I have a couple more questions... I installed it like I said but I didnt disconnect my tail light to do it, and I didnt do anything with that plug that john mentioned. all I did was wrap electrical tape around that wire thing that goes into the little tube. and off to the right there's that little wire plug harness I diconnected that when I took off the stock one and I wrapped that in electrical tape. Is there anything I should've done differently?

next step... get a real spoon tail. I've learned my lesson with this fake shit. VIS wings suck, my friends hood has a 1/2 inch gap above his right side headlight too, I think I'll only get their c/f hatch and that's it.
