...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.

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.

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

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.
