how bout these? gimme some more time and I'll find more examples, IMO, it's a really stupid, cheap mod, of course, most of you prolly think the same way about neons but everyone has their own taste, I might change my mind if I see pics of a ti with it

well, prove me wrong, I'd kind of like to see this mod done right, IMO, don't do it to the cs, that car is way too rare to be doing stuff like that to it

You guys should learn to think outside the box. Rather than worrying about deleting the wipers, figure out a way to delete the windshield and replace it with a force field of some sort. Then... A) you wouldn't even NEED wipers, and B) the USDOD would beat a path to your door trying to get you to sell them the technology... or they'd kill you and steal it... either way you'd never replace another wiper blade. LOL

Hey, you guys who are deleting your rear wiper... what are you doing with the parts you remove?

Since the motor is broken, it will probably end up in the bin... i'll keep the wiper blade, rubber mounts etc, if I want want to install a new motor at some point in the future.

I've never seen single wiper conv. on a rice rocket.
Though it came OEM on some Porsches & Mercedes Benz cars, VW tunning scene started the trend on cars which never had it originally, I think.

EDIT: wow, I just saw the photos above - how freaking said.
Hondas should stick to big wings, go fast stickers, & neon lights, IMO...

Please don't do the single wiper mod on the ti or else I would have to drive up to VT and tear it off.

I actually use my rear wiper a lot. I think I drive in reverse more than the average person though. Everyday after class, I stop at my friends house down the street. When I leave, it's easier for me to just back up to my house instead of turning around or going around the block to park in front of my house. They only live about 6 houses down from me and sometimes when I leave at night, the rain/fog or dew is really thick. Just a little strange bit of information about my reverse driving habits, rear wipers FTW!

So, if you know you're only going to be traveling in reverse... do you turn on the headlights? Enquiring minds want to know! LOL

Lol, I just drove my car half a block in reverse again. Guess what, it's raining so the rear wiper came in handy again. I usually use my headlights just out of habit, but also to warn potential oncoming cars. The sheriff patrols my neighborhood pretty regularly, so I even wear my seatbelt to avoid any harassment since I usually consume a few drinks. I know it's weird, but my buddy has a pool table, a foosball table, a dartboard and a drum set in his garage so every nights a party
