...dude... a meaner agressive look?... ur kidding me right? I think that is pretty rediculous. So do you just have 1 rergular wiper, or 1 giant wiper?

......oh well, to each his own, if ur happy with it, then cool.

Not so much rice but why???? Something like ground efx, spoiler, lower stance will make a car look way more aggressive than 1 wiper.It never made since to me to get rid of one. http://web.camaross.com/bb/confused.gif

Definately not meaner or more aggressive... but definately not rice... Camaro SCCA cars have one wiper..

That IS definately rice! That is one of the gayest things someone can do to their car because it looks stupid and it serves no purpose.

The single wiper on the Mercedes is engineered so that it wipes the entire windshield and then it hides away when not it use. It does not have a half circle wiper pattern like the ricers do. The ricer wiper mod just sits on the windshield when not in use looking dumb.

I'd like to see some pics to see what it looks like.Are the pics of a CAMARO?I don't yhink it would be rice as long as it laid down like the stock ones do.Like stated above SCCA rsders have had them for years.

A tip for the thread starter..if you like the idea of one wiper, go for it. But be aware you do it right. More Import windshields are smaller in size making it simple to use one wiper and clean the windshield while a domestic windshield is much larger and one wiper will not clean the entire windshield unless you get the right size. If the mod was done with good taste, it will blend in and look respectful (not more aggresive). Now my W-type body kit will look more aggresive http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

Maybe its just me but I already have enough trouble seeing in some of the storms we get in florida with both wipers. I think its just plain STUPID to get rid of one. It will take like an hour to get back and forth from side to side...

well. some things are ment to be for looks.
like slamming your car 2.5 inches and puting WW GFX woldn't make your ride any more comfortable but it's sure will make it look good. I still want to see some pics of it though

Just another thing "made infamous" as one member would say, by ricers. I saw pics of a SCCA LT1 Camaro with one wiper, and it was from a link from this very board, either from here or the suspension forum. I'll try to find it later on.

I don't think 1 wiper is rice, I think it's unsafe. I'd rather see out of my windshield during a storm, thank you very much.

In my sig,check out the one that says my web site.On the first page at the bottem there is a pic of a SCCA CAMARO with one wiper on it.Forgot about it until I saw Skull's post.It might help you out.

Sorry bro I am all for being unique, but i don't like, aside from safety facts I am just not into seeing the wiper all the time, i would think that having them hidden would make the car look slicker, and faster. But hey, to each his own, i saw a 94 Z28 with this same thing and didn't like it then. Oh well, goodluck.

If this was a firebird, you could follow it up with a 'one headlight up' mod. http://web.camaross.com/bb/cool.gif

Reality check: looks like you're suffering from premature electrical gremlins, sentencing your passengers to stare at that stupid wiper even on a bright sunny day. Not to mention blocking the driver's view...

Hey stik6shift98, your sig is a bit carried away http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif Could you please shorten it to around 5 lines? Thanks!

The general rule is 5 lines and that's what we ask you to limit it to. If you are 6, nobody will most likely say anything, but half a page plus is a bit excessive http://web.camaross.com/bb/biggrin.gif

The best thing for you to do is to get one of the free web pages offered by this site or even just a "Reader's Rides" page, include all your mods on your web page, then provide a link to the web page in your sig.

Thanks!

Come on guys, the wiper mod is totally rice. It really looks like the wiper motor just quit working on that car. Even the hondas around here don't do that anymore. (well, the fast ones anyways.)

Here u go man, this is the pic I knew I saw, but couldn't find... http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif HOWEVER, on this LG MOTORSPORTS RACECAR, although it has only one wiper, it DOES go down all the way, something to consider...

(put a extra space after it on the address bar if it doesn't load the first time)

hect, i don't even understand why you would do it to a race car, whoopie it saves half a pound. it does look better centered and pointing up.

Im sorry but its nothing back tacky...and ontop of that why do you have it 1/3 way up on your windshield?????? looks cheesy as hell, doesnt it annoy you when your driving??
