Shave it! lol

 

That's what he said. lol

What I need to do is find a better rear wiper. I recently added the chrome tailgate garnish to my xB. Now the stock wiper doesn't look right with it.

 

Lmfao you ran over people while going on reverse? ahahhahahahh jk

scion619's ride is so freakin ossum!!!

 

Duh! You get 200 points for hitting people. Bonus points occur when you bounce them into other cars. I once had a triple bonus score when I caught an old lady with a walker and bounced her around in my wheel well.

I lost a life when one guy bounced into my windshield and cracked it, causing water to get in the xB.

 

SHUT UP!


I've had a 5x combo once. The young transvestite and her poodle lived to tell the story.

jesus lol ^^^

 

 

No, but seriously, the rainstorms in Jacksonville are RIDICULOUS. It rains so bad 70% of the time that you can hardly see at all while driving, even with fogs and your wipers at max speed (I don't have fogs though). That's why I can't risk parting with my rear wiper. For the longest time I wanted to swap that for a backup camera, but now I'd rather keep that and then add a camera above my license plate in the future.

 

I have a license plate camera I'd let go of as long as you pay shipping. its on the license plate frame so the garnish keeps it clear of water. I used it for a long time but after I painted my car I never reconnected it. you just have to promise me the wiper is gone LOL.

 

Yo i live in Tampa and it rains like crazy and i dont have my rear wiper and i can see perfectly fine. Plus shouldn't you be more focused on the traffic in front you you while you are driving and not so much what is behind you. I also have 5% tint and i have never had a problem.

 

Typically when I'm backing up in reverse, I'm pretty much always looking behind me and not forward. There was one time when I thought I would try looking forward when I go in reverse, and then I remembered that it was the stupidest thing I could ever do in a car, so I quickly killed that thought and looked behind me while I moved in reverse. :D Then there was another time when I thought I would try driving forward by looking behind me the whole time, and then I realized that was stupid, too.

You must not have the rains that we do here in Jacksonville. Imagine just a giant garden hose without a nozzle at the end deluging over the back windshield. Then imagine a wall of thick, fat rain that impedes your vision from only two feet away from the back windshield. So basically the rain is so thick that you can clearly see at least two feet in front of you, but then things get distorted by the light refracting from the water real fast.

Those are the kinds of rain that we get in Jacksonville. Most of it is caused by the hurricanes, although this summer has not been bad when compared to last summer.


@Pasquale: Thanks for the offer, but I still haven't gotten around to doing the sound in my car. I'm migrating to performance mods first.

PM them through here.

sorry looks like they had a website now. my bad. seems a lil easier now. will order!

 

Well, against better judgement, I'm gonna try this mod. Since I decided to slow the performance route and go more looks, I said frack it and just ordered 2 Keyhole Covers and a Rear Wiper Plug, 03N0 color, from Key techniques. $35, so not bad, guess Ill smother my back window with rainex.

 

Problem is, regardless of what anyone says, while hwy driving int he rain, water collects on the back window. As the smart@$$'s know, we arent driving backwards, but changing lanes with a covered back window is not always fun, and a tad unsafe, especially with the way people cannot drive nowadays (not using blinkers and shooting across 3 lanes). I have blindspot mirrors, so should not be a big deal.

And it's not really even the water, its the road grime in the water, that leaves that nice film on the back window. If you think the wiper does not help, just look at the back window after a few rains, where every spot on the window is gray, except where the wipers been wiping. Don't justify a mod by ignoring fact, and thats what's gone on here. "can't see it from my house". This reminds me of the thread where the guy claimed tiniting the front window wasnt dangerous. I had window film on the front before, I know better.

 

There you go Pyro.

 

lmao!

I guess I'm the only one that lives in the city with the worst, fattest rain falls! I need backup. Doughboy needs to get his **** over here and back me up!

@elwaylite: Cool deal! Shoot some pics this way so that we can see what it looks like on your box, please!

 

This looks awesome! How come you don't have dual exhaust?

 

Ill take pics.

Cmon Pyro, Jax only gets about 52" per year, Im in Mobile (66") and if I can suffer thru this mod you can!
