I could have used those when I was driving home on the interstate yesterday :lol:, It was raining and I couldnt see a damn thing It seems once you hit 70mph or so the wipers tend to lift off the windsheild greatly reducing the effectiveness.

Oh lay off the rice cop ticket stuff... those things add at LEAST 5-7 HP. I have the dyno charts to prove it! :P

I would never actually put those particular wiper "spoilers" on my car but I would put on a nice pair of tenzo's, Its a full replacement unit, it looks pretty good and keeps the wiperblades from lifting off the windsheild at high speeds,very important when driving in the rain. my buddy has a pair they work pretty good

Yeah, mine need something. They don't work worth crap over 70. The family '92 Accord has a air-deflector deal from the factory, always thought about puttin one on my car. It's just small and black and isn't overtly obvious it's there.

Yeah, mine don't work for shit at anything above 60 or so. My fiancee's '00 RS sedan has a little deflector thing on the drivers side wiper. Something like that might be cool. I was also curious if the springs that provide pressure on the wipers can get stretched? Maybe that's why they're not functioning up to par?

You know what? Those Tenzo's caught my attention. I might look into those. They look tastefully functional...

Now in order for the single wiper mod to net you any HP, it (and the rest of the car, of course) has to be painted a color similar to something found in a pack of Skittles... :lol: :lol:
