I know AAALLLLL about ricer BS mods, and my goal was to stray away from ANY and all mods that were considered worthless and looked tacky. Unfortunately, alot of mods found on here are also done by the Ricers, like the spoilers which is what I originally bought this stuff for. When I figured out it was too small to make work other than for looks on the lower bumper, I scrapped the idea and came up with this one instead. I believe Basjoos aerocivic is one of many cars I took the inspiration from for a windshield wiper spoiler. With this car, the hood lips up ever so slightly before ending at the cowl, I just continued the lip another inch or so. I used to notice when I would get water on the hood and cowl that it would run up under the wipers and up the windshield. I could also watch the wipers quiver a bit especially at highway speeds, I havnt notived that yet with this in place. Not really a test, more like an observation. I appreciate the feedback and the thoughts, It will give me somethin more to think about when it comes to keeping or tossing this mod. Basically, if its has no gain or negative gain...its gone. If it could possibly even do the slightest good, then I will keep it cause its not hurtin me to look at.
