Default eBay Rear Wiper Delete Kit

I purchased a wiper delete kit today on ebay from Wentzvillian, it will be my first exterior mod to my 07. I never have understood why they would put rear wipers on a sports car. Has anyone else done any business with this seller? No its not the wiper sniper guy lol

It's there so that you can see the person on the cell phone that's about to rear-end you.

I bought the set from from a guy on the other forum. It's $20 shipped for the set, the color match is perfect.

still cheaper to do it on your own using the same stuff those guys did and probably got from home depot or lowes.

True but PPW is a tricky color, so I went with what this guy was offering. That and I saw the same plug on my friends' cars and I liked how they came out.

You are right, that's the easy part. The issue is getting it painted to match the rest of the car!!!

It's more for the clean look, rather than weight savings. It looks great on PPW and other lighter colors.

^^^ +1 Its not so much weight savings, I could care less about that. I did it for looks. In the 2 years I have had my Z I used my rear wiper maybe once; plus it gets the way when you washing your Z.

I actually have this on my car. It looks/works great and worth every penny. $25 is pocket change compared to the time, gas, and money you will spend going to home depot.

This plug seems way smaller than the sink one at home depot. It also has a top plug to, seems to be way better than anything thats been fabbed up on the forum. I will post some pics when I get it in.

As a matter of fact I did. Fast shipping, color matches perfectly, and its good quality pieces.
