I am debating whether or not to shave my rear wiper. With my new wing I am getting, I don't think it will function without hitting the posts. Even if it did, I don't use it a whole lot. Should I shave it or not?? Anyone have pics of shaved rear wiper?? I think it will give it a cleaner look. Thanks.

I think a lot of people here have shaved it. I wouldn't do it though since I end up using mine frequently.

You might as well do it if it wont be functional.

All signs point to yes...you did not bring up one negative reason why not to do it...just so money points there as well.

i actually use mine in houston. why? because it rains for about 5 minutes and then stops and then its sunny, then it rains and stops, we got crazy rain and sunny weather. it changes pretty quick and i can't see much when the rain gets all piled up on my rear window, so i actually need mine =( but when i move to california for college, i'll shave it =)

Mine was shaved last year some time... hasn't rained once since :D

Of course, when I get to Michigan, that will all change...

its funny because i don't think it looks bad. in fact you tend to not even notice it unless you're looking for it. it looks fine, but it would look good shaved too.

Sound system weighs you down. Now that I have the appearance mods, I am going for speed. ;)
