First $43 dollars for wipers, no refills that's nuts... Could have sworn my boxster was like $20 from the dealer.

However when I opened the box I felt better. They put a little wing on the drivers side wiper now.

I've had this on other cars and they do make a difference when going at speed in the rain. Finally I may have wipers that actually work!!!

Corey, I think that the spoiler must be at the down site of the wiper not up!

I have no need for wipers in the rain at speed because I use Rain-X.

Did they come that way from the factory. My orig ones on my 2003 C2 did not. With this new replacement set only the drivers side.

interesting I have had the wipers that way since I have had the car, i.e. I have never replaced them.

Nope, my 03 didn't have either from the factory.

So it must have been a minor change for 04. As I said the new ones from the dealer does have the drivers side wing.

If Spr's 99 came with both of them, then I guess only the 02(checked my neighbors) and 03 didn't, then in 04 you get a single wing on the drivers side which I now have.
