It IS illegal. Know why? Not because it's only one wiper but because it OBSTRUCTS YOUR VIEW. Ever notice how the cars with one wiper from the factory don't stop on the windshield? Get a clue nutsack.

No, it's not, jackoff. Link me to a bylaw for it in Florida and I'll limit the amount of visits I get from your mom by the week.

See? Being immature isn't difficult. :thumb:

I think it's funny you tell me I should use it yet you can't even spell the name of the product you praise so much. Also I don't care what the box says I use RainX as well and you still need your wipers specially in heavy rain. So get over it man seriously. LOL

Yea, my IQ is waaay above yours. Here; I'll show you direct quotes of your L33t! backpedaling skillz!

Number 1:In many states its illegal to not have two working blades.
EXACTLY more pricey cars have em STOCK.

You even emphasised the STOCK. Lol.

4. You cannot compare it to that car in the photo its a fully built race car. Chances are his car is not in professional rally racing or road courses FULLTIME. Those are built for one person in the car with one seat and are designed to cover enough for the driver to see. Horrible comparison.

Call me crazy but that yellow RX-7 is not a rally car. Now that I think about it I retract the rally part. They ALWAYS have two much needed

Wow. You at least admitted to screwing up and made a proper retraction. Lol, one bladed rally cars with one driver. That's good stuff.

3. You are a ricer if you have one wiper.
EXACTLY more pricey cars have em STOCK.

So more pricey cars with 1 wiper blade stock are ricers? Alright, got it.

2. Its pretty damn unsafe in the rain. There is no way in hell one blade is gonna cover your ENTIRE windshield which then lowers visibility.

Lol, I'll use your same point.

EXACTLY more pricey cars have em STOCK.

So stock cars are unsafe. Got it.

Oh, and I HATE people that senselessly bi***. This is my favorite:

Anyway I replied cause my buddy had your precious one wiper mod got in an accident. Its unsafe plane and simple. You can come back again and try to flame me all you want. The point here is the car was made for two and putting one just makes the car unsafe in inclimate weather and tacky when its sunny. Hey to each their own I guess. But when you get in a wreck cause you cant see in a big rain storm dont come crying here.

Good stuff. You try to make it sound like I made it personal because I told a guy how to do a one wiper mod properly. And then you go on in tandem about "your friend" injured by the evil one wiper mod!

If that story is true and your friend improperly did it then that jackass is lucky Darwinism didn't do me a favor and kill him. He had to learn a lesson the hard way and he lives to see another day. So please; don't whine to me about it. I HATE people that bi*** and moan about their own mistakes. Hell; you're complaining about the mistake of another person.

What a child you are. :barf:

I must be too cool for everyone then, because I spent all night reading this :thumb:

On-topic: Even if it is illegal I don't think a cop is going to pull you over for only having one, so I don't think that is an issue. I guess if you want to do it, go for it, no one here can stop you, but just think of all the 4 door Civics with hubcaps, cut springs, altezza's, and type R stickers who have done this mod and see what kind of image you are going to put out.
 
And after all that you are still a rice boy. Just face it oreo fool.

No. Again, you're an idiot for not looking at the link I provided.

THERE IS A RIGHT WAY TO DO EVERYTHING. You don't just get springs and drop a car 2." By all of your definitions that would be rice, correct? So you'd need a camber kit, shocks, replace any other questionable parts and THEN the drop would be a ok. But I wonder how many people would bi*** this guy out if he came on here and said "I just dropped my car 1.5; should I get some shocks?" I'll explain the "right way" for the single wiper mod at the bottom. Oh, and again; I don't have it and I'm more unricerish than most of you. Hell, I got a twin 2.5" muffler just to keep a sleeper look.

wow oreopride you're a moron. I'm glad you spent the better part of your night bitching on an online chat room. You're definitely too cool for us!

Check the times of our posts. I just got in from spending 3 hours at the local 1/8th mile track (Holt; best 1/8th mile time in the country is held here) trying to improve my driving style. Tommorrow I have to go to my MCSE class and afterwards deal with a big car meet that my club is hosting. And then sunday I spend my whole day "working" as a lifeguard at a water park hitting on women and getting paid to do something that is uber easy.

Oh yes. I am much too cool to be talking to you. You should consider it a blessing my time is wasted on people like you.

Since some of you are too dumb to read I'll post questions from this site that I reccomended for doing a wiper mod "the right way." Wait; let me dumb it down for you. The blade will be street legal, the blade will sit ON THE SIDE and not the middle, and it would look as normal as can be. let's move on:

http://www.singlewiper.com/
Now take your heads out of your asses for a few minutes and click the link.

The bastards won't let me right click and it won't link so I'm going to go 80WPM style and type out the key points WORD FOR WORD from the site since some people suck at the intraweb and will still continue to bash me when I gave a completley legit way to do this. I'll do this in battle style always. Again; the responses to your questions are WORD FOR WORD on the site itself. Now let's start:

Format Key:
I - Idiot
Q - question from the FAQ on the site
R - response from the FAQ on the site
A - Awesome me giving some insight

I: Oreo ur a ###. If u do dis cunversion then yu will be stuck wit da blade in the midle of the screen! Go screw yo self, newb!
Q: Can I park the arm striaght up my screen, and will this efect my wipe pattern?
R: You choose where the arm parks when you fit the kit and you can change it at any time. The sweep area remains the same and you can park the arm anywhere within the area.
A: So you can pick WHEREVER you want the blade at. Interesting. So it can be on the side, up above, at a 90 degree angle, at an 85 degree angle, at a 60 degree angle; I hope you're getting this.

I: dUDe! 1 wiper is ILEGAL on da rode! Stoopid. Cops be hatin' u if you get one wipeer on the car!
Q: Are single wipers road legal, will it pass MOT?
R: All our kits use a long sweep and as long as you park them to one side they are legal.
A: That's right guys. The kits ARE street legal since the blade will be to the side and not the middle like you think. Maybe you guys are seeing the light? Naaaa; that'd be giving you too much credit.

I: It's nott clene! U'll have taht spare hole!
Q: What happens to the spare hole?
R: All kits contain a suitable plug for your spare hole.
A: This is self explanitory. If you don't get it then slam your head into the desk in front of you until you go unconsious. When you wake up wash, rinse, repeat until you cause a fatal head wound.

I: Wipers wunt work nymore! They will be useslesss.
Q: Will I keep my different wiper speeds?
R: Yes, because you are using the original motor and wiring it's business as usual, and the extra screen coverage means the linkage automatically gears up the single wiper to move faster on each speed than the twin setup.
A: So you'll have all 4 wiper speeds. And it's a reliable blade that will hold up and cover a good amount of sweep zone. Goody; that means it's still effective.

Check around and look at the pics. WOAH! The blades are on the sides?! That's insane! But wait! The blades are still functional! So:

Blades remain functional.
Hole is plugged up.
Wiper stays to the side at rest if you opt to have it that way.
It is street legal.
You have all the normal speeds that you had stock.
It covers 150 degrees of movement (no kit does 180 since it would sweep into the bonnets on the sides of the screen)



I wasted 10 minutes doing that whole setup and writing this ip so KevinESi; the ass kissing will start with you.
 
hahaha cliff notes anyone? You crack me up. One wiper mod = ricer I dont care how you wanna spell it out man.

Huge tacky spoiler = rice

one wiper = rice


Not a hard concept. :thumb:
 
OMG is this crap.

I don't whether you think it's ricey or not.

He didn't ask if anyone thought it was ricey he asked how to do it.
If you do not plan on answering the persons question DO NOT REPLY.
