Default CRX - With or Without Rear Wiper (For Wing Design)

Usually I see most of the CRXs out there with the rear wiper still on the car. Is that the case for most people here on HT? Or is there more people/CRXs out there with no rear wipers on the car?

We just replicated a wing and right now I decided to go with the wiper hole still in place, no different than the original one. Although I can always make another one w/out the hole, I was checking to see if it's even worth doing.

What do you guys see out there? CRXs with the rear wiper still on the car or w/out?

When I had my 91, I kinda liked it with the wiper hole.

16v wing. Made it so you don't have to drill any holes onto your hatch, but this version has the hole for the windshield wiper since this wing is going onto my JDM EF8. I'll take pics later this week after I shoot it with some paint. But if the demand is high enough, we'll also make it with no wiper hole.

Wing or no wing, the only good wiper is one that's not there. I got mine removed and shaved not because of contemplating a wing, I just think it looks better.

imho the reason behind the wing is to add aerodynamics to the car and having a windshield wiper is gonna take away from the cars curves and not be as functional for the wing being there.

i have a rear wiper, with our cars it really seems to help in rain b/c of the slant of our rear windows. The rain doesnt just slide right off. But that wing is sweet, if u start selling them i will invest in one
