    I know... I hate it when people put chrome all over the place with no taste whatsoever...

Right now every time my wipers park they smash into the upper lip of my hood. My freshly painted hood. I can mount them one "notch" higher on the hubs but then they look stupid, like they were never parked.

    I always think outside the box. If you prefer one arm over two because to your eye it looks better, do it. If you think it will make your car faster (and you can prove that it will) do it. If you're doing it because you want to protect the paint on your hood, fix your car. There's a reason it's hitting, something is either mis-adjusted or worn.

    If you still feel the need to modify your car and think outside the box, add a wiper part stop. A lot of cars have them, they're little black (usually) plastic things that the wipers park against. Basically it solves the problems you have. If you really want to further mod your car, find one that has a squirter nozzle built in, or see if you can find one that has a heated squirter, as it will keep the ice from forming on your wipers.

    Come to think of it....

    How about the old Jags with 3 arms?

    Is there a 3 arm conversion?

    Ok, so im looking at the real oem blow up and it sounds like your referring to "06-RUBBER BOOT-3-61611378537-$4.30" Is this the part you replaced? It will be great to be able to order this before i pull the assembly and such.
