Default wipers or no wipers

I was just wondering who runs with and without windshield wipers? IMO I hate them and never have them on the car, I think cars look alot nicer with a clean cowl..... What's your set-up? post pics if you want....

are you talking about auto-x and racing? or just daily? cause if its daily, its retarded not to drive without wipers. if its track, i dont see why you would need them unless its raining.

I think a car looks goofy without wipers that is a street car. If you drive the car on the street you have to have wipers. (unless your car is like a 45 and back or something

I like the look w/o the wipers, but as long as they are not the bling bling autozone chrome wipers leaving them on is fine too. My is not daily driven and I leave them on just in case.

It's kinda stupid to remove a (safety) feature like that if your car isn't going to strictly be a track car. You never know what's gonna happen. It would suck if you had to pull off to the side of the road simply because you can't see where you're going.

Besides: what if you hit a pedestrian? You'll need something to clear the blood from the windsheild.

If you're not going to have wipers, atleast apply those "water-resistant" film on your windshield. Applies just like window tint

So is yours.

I need my wipers, also. I use them almost daily in the winter and can't see driving around w/o them; it'd feel too weird to me. They get used whether to wipe away rain or when my windows get frosted after parking it outside in cold weather.

Why wouldnt you want them? who gives a **** if it looks clean without them, this is getting out of hand. Next thing you know, you guys will be removing your seatbelts, then eventually brakes. what happens if there is a sudden downpour and you're stuck in traffic so the rainX can't help because you're moving at like 5 mph? that's just my opinion.
