Anyone have a shaved rear wiper? Not plugged, but welded shut...

My car is going in for paint and I am considering having it totally shaved... What do you guys think?

Yes. Just had mine done a couple weeks ago while the hatch was in the shop having my old Veilside V2 wing holes shaved. Turned out great.

Its in a tricky spot, theres a body line very close to where he'll be welding, and a window molding very close on the other side with no room to "feather" the bodywork after. If there is any sinking from the heat during welding it could turn into a disaster. Mine turned out great however, just not something i'd leave to a rookie bodyman.

yeah that may be true, heat warps metal. but they usually reinforce the metal temporarily while welding the spot. right

what radio!? lmao!!! i just use my IPOD.

You can rewire your antenna into one that sits in the dash, the center of your roof, or one that is incorporated into the windshield, but yeah, i figured im not going to be listening to radio much in the Z so i got rid of it to keep it clean lookin lol!

And I thought I was the only one who wanted to completely get rid of the antenna as well ha. Looks much cleaner in my opinion.

Go for it
