Your passenger side windshield wiper is sticking way up on the window itself. Is that supposed to be the "parked" position for the wiper? My 2005 parks way the heck down.

When mine are parked they are also lower (the blades stay on the blackened part of the glass.)

I'm guessing the blades are in the spot where you just tap the "one wipe" option on the stalk but let go before the blade actually goes up past the "point of no return." So then instead of going through the cycle of up and down the blade just stops a couple inches above its normal resting spot.

Try it.

Not quite sure why it was like that. It rained here yesterday, and after I turned the wipers off, they were both down in the black part of the windshield. Thanks for seeing that.

Thank you. I'm sure that was just one of those funny points where they were turned off where they can't park properly. I thought that might have been some odd little change for the 2006's.

I really enjoy seeing what other owners do to customize their ride, and i really like what you've done to yours. Especially the wheels. How do the Pirelli tires ride?? do you like 'em?

Looks great!! congratulations!!

Thanks! They ride pretty decent. Right now, they aren't on the car. I am doing a gas mileage experiment. It's not looking good, either. I put the stocks on, and am gtting 6-7 MPG better mileage They are really heavy at 43.5 lbs. per corner. That's alot of unsprung weight added.

That would probably look pretty schweet! I'm sure somebody can modify a pic. I saw a pic of a 2 door convertible on here yesterday, and then Galaxee's car with blackouts on the head and tail lights!
