Go wingless and wiperless :)

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Thinking about it, getting new glass would suck. but im debating wingless, or just something not OEM

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

You can get a plug for the wiper, but why would you want to? We live in MN! I LOVE my rear wiper!

Anyone else interested in donating to the cause!?! We got about a week left before the dyno day, where the money will be presented!

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I like it to, but i kinda like not having it there also. hmm.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Minivans have rear wipers.. sports cars should not. :D

I say delete it.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Haha, good call. Nice new avatar btw

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

rear wiper FTW! that thing has come in handy plenty of times, i love it.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Thanks :)

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I love my rear wiper, I would never even think about getting rid of it for a daily-driven street car in MN. I really notice how much I miss it when I drive the WRX in snow/rain.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Really? When I'm at least moving in snow/rain conditions it never builds up on the rear glass, I only use it when I start up the car after it's been sitting in snow. Even if it's been sitting in the rain it runs off immediately, never sticks to the glass.

If I'm on the highway it can be raining and my back hatch will be completely dry. I wouldn't mind getting rid of my wiper if the spoiler didn't have a big notch in it.

EDIT: I would guess rain/snow buildup on a DSM would be worse than an EVO because of the angle of the glass, but it's just a guess.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

^Exactly. And any time there is snow on the back, just turn on the defroster once you scrape after a large snowfall.

I guess I just think wipers on the rear are tacky on a sports car.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Good thing I drive a 4-door family sedan then. Even with Rain-X the rear glass doesn't clear itself off perfectly and since I'm particular about my vision I like all the snow and rain drops gone. Plus, this way I don't need to brush off snow in the winter.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

LOL, I bet your insurance rates don't agree with that. But seriously, how many sedans do you see with rear wipers? It is sort of weird they have them.

Personal preference I suppose, like everything else on cars...

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Haha! I was going to say, I don't drive a sports car, I drive a rally car! That rear wiper is rally-inspired, because it is very useful!

Hughes, how can you say you are concerned about your rear vision when you have a plank going right across your rear window blocking your view! :P

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

That plank is perfectly placed to block the headlights of cars behind me from shining into my mirror!

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

How many sedans can be heard from a 1/2 mile away and have huge wings tacked on their trunks? The Evo isn't really ordinary. I wish more cars did have rear wipers though; I loved having one on my DSM's and I feel the same about it on my Evo. Janelle has also commented on how she wishes her WRX had one.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I know too many Hondas that meet that criteria.
:score001:

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I also know too many Hondas with purple turn signals and yellow brake calipers ;)

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Oh snap! Good one though, I have been meaning to repaint those ugly things. That was one of the first "mods" on my car back when I first got it in 2004.

Anyway, sorry for cluttering this thread, back on topic.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Last time I checked your car was not a truck or van, it was a car. So yea it is a sports car, yes more accurately- sports sedan. :)

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I love the rear wiper on my car! I hate driving cars without them. It's nice to be able to have a clear rear window at the flick of a switch.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

It came in quite handy today driving home from work in the rain while sitting in traffic!

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I used mine today as well, it works o so well.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I agree... i love my rear wiper..especially on days like today!

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

+1!!

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Hell yeah, rally car for sure! And i also +1 on it because it comes in handy more times than not... even on my 1g. And i also second the big plank in the back lol def. blocks those headlights behind you ;)

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Thank you everyone for their donations! In sum we BEAT the goal of $200, and raised a total of $320 to give to the two vandalism victims. In the end, rosey decided to donate half of his half to 311evo.

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Rosey: $80
311: $240

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

I hope the money goes to good use guys!

Re: PLEASE READ Re: VANDALISM on Spring Cruise
 

Oh it will! and after i get some of the money from insurence, i plan on donating a good amount of the left-overs back to the mitsustyle community, thank you all VERY much, and a big thanks to Rosey as well!
