I had mine made by these guys:

I know member iLko did the same but sourced it somewhere else so try sending him a PM if you don't like the Alloy Carbon route.

Nice job!! I hate the look of rear wipers. Took them off my old Cayenne's too.

Very hideous on the 911 as well.

I thought I was the only rear wiper hater!

Lifeisgood2 is infamous around these parts
I like the funtionality of the rear wiper and quite frankly, I don't see it as intrusive. Use mine whenever it rains.

Such a difference. Where are you getting your plugs?

My Turbo came from the Exchange.

My body shop guy has plastic plugs that a he painted gloss black. Did it on few vehicles I had. Fastened them somehow and used silicone underneath to water proof as well. I just saw the end result which I was very happy with.

That source that you have posted for them look very nice. I was looking for something like that when I was getting this done but never found anything. My body shop guy came up with this solution. I'm sure the plastic plug was only a couple dollars.

Here is pic on the one on my daily driver. A Mercedes ML.

If I had your source, I would have gone that route most likely. I have a 911 now, and thank goodness it wasn't ordered with a wiper to start!

Agreed! The ONLY option I didn't want was the rear wiper. I searched for a year and when my current 09TT came up with all the specs I wanted I jumped on it since I figured I could always replace the rear glass if the plug didn't cut it. So far I'm okay with the plug.
