Haha, F the single wiper. It'd be much more productive to replace that anemic wiper motor. I've almost died a million times in heavy rain because my wipers move so slow. For reference, the "high" speed on the MR2 is the low speed on my 05 Tacoma.

i dunno, theres one MR2 i always see when im snoopin through the "Garage" on here that has the single wiper, and i personally think it looks pretty good. Now it may only look good on that car........ but it may not look good on EVERY MR2. But if he wants to do it, let him do it.

im sure you can swap the motor wiper in tacoma as long as they have the same mounting positions which i doubt is possible. but it could be if they are both in the 90's. coz im sure newer car will be so different. but are you really willing to spend time and money for a wiper mod? just so that it will be faster? i dont think it rains all the time or snow. but again its up to you

You'll get it from all angles on any forum. I was considering this as well, one blade straight up at rest with a better motor to cover more area and more power for higher speeds. It's a unique signature and it's been done before on the best.

If you put it out there you open it to scrutiny. If you can't deal with that, don't post it. If you like it, then do it. That doesn't mean everyone else has to keep quiet about it.
