Just wanted to see if I was the only one to remove the wipers once in a while for that extra clean look.
(dont worry safety nuts...i keep them in the trunk with a ratchet)

it looks badass

 

[GreyMetallicTeg]

i think he is talking about the front wipers... I have never seen anyone drive without at least one wiper on the street. I only see hillbillly f bodys without them, lol. all the more power to you if it looks better on your car.

 

[TheGSRGuy]

The reason you don't see anyone do it is because it is extremely illegal and extremely unsafe.

 

[aznasinine]

I've done it for a few shows it looks much cleaner, but i wouldn't daily drive w/o them on...just a every once in a while thing or if you have a car that you will never drive in any kind of rain or snow

 

[tony4311]

I'd only do it if I went to shows.

X2, and it rains and snows too much where i live.

 

[integrapunk67]

I took them off to paint them and put them back on

Unless you trailer the car, live where its dry... its stupid IMO to take the fronts off.

 

[toddles73]

why is it unsafe if i only do it on days with no forecasted rain AND keep them in the car. its not like something is gonna splash up and if something does...pull over. you guys are just jealous cuz i thought of it. haha j/k

I used to have the fronts off with my old teg. As long as you apply Rain-X frequently, then you should be fine, but looking back, I wouldn't recommend it now. Illegal and terrible with condensation and light rain.

Here's an old pic:

 

[jameelrose]

just know that u can be ticketed for not having a wiper... but i doubt a cop would ever notice that...

 

[TheGSRGuy]

You never know what will happen, but if there was an emergency and you had to clear the windshield, you wouldn't be able to. Plus, a cop will write you a nasty ticket for that.

It's just plain stupid to remove them.

 

[supersilverteg]

Dont bother. Remove the rear one if u want but never the fronts. Thats just unsafe. So what if it starts to rain, u gotta get them from inside your car andput them on in the rain? LEAVE THEM oN

2 years ago I went an entire summer without putting my wipers on. Rain-ex plus i avoided inclement weather whenever possible. I highly doubt a cop would even notice it.

 

[anuteg]

wow removing front wipers for clean look? y stop there? who really notices the wipers on the teg? unless they r beat up and nasty looking I don't c the point of removing them .

 

[5ive-0]

man, everyone is over reacting. if he took them off, obvisouly it doesnt rain much where he is. also the fact there in his car, so if it does he can put them on. and the ticket would most likely just be a fix it,(wow $10, break the bank) if the cop even notices. i think it looks cleaner, but i wouldnt drive all the time with them off. so stop over reacting amd ur unsafe non-sense.

Extremely! lol

Toddles: My friends and I have done this for awhile. Over where I live its either rainy season or dry season. Rainy season they're on, dry season they're off.
I first started doing this many years ago when I realized my new wiper blades were always shot from cooking in the sun all summer long, so I just took them off and put them on when the rainy season came. The clean look is a by product of this mod...very nyce.

 

[supersilverteg]

^ You know wiper blades are like $20 right?

 

[toddles73]

if your driving on a sunny day w/ no forecasted rain and theres a surprise liquid on your windshield it means your probably screwed anyway. Someone tell me what can splash on your windshield and hinder your vision when everything around you is dry.

just be smart about it.
