Rear Wiper and a Wash.

The other day, my friend was dewipering his Golf at mine, so while he was busy doing that, I set out to change mine so that it comes to rest in the upright position.
All JDM import cars around here have their wipers like that, so I thought why not!
Wiper is more practicle this way also.
Doesnt collect dirt above the blade.
And is out of my view in my rear view mirror.
Heres a photo. Gave it a wash too.

whats not to get?
it clears my view in my rear window.
it doesnt collect dust and dirt.
its free and takes like 15minutes start to finish.
and its rather JDM.

I just meant, it is not a mod that I am particularly fond of.
But personal taste (and money) is what keeps each car different. So rock the vertical wiper if you like it. I'm just saying I wont.

bit more practical - think snow removal in winter, no dirt accumulation,
looks better (IMHO). for less then 20 minutes of light effort and 0$ you get a mod of comparable "niceness". but we all have different taste.

did it as well

Yeah they are factory. And they do have a pink tint to them.
Our EUDM Jazz's got the same MMC as the JDM.
We got all the same stuff facelifted, minus the rear lights.
Ours went from the ones you guys have in the US, to the same but with a pink tint.

I think a rear spoiler would set it off very nicely
