Put the 10.5s on the Cobra with UPR wiper delete

[SmackedInATL]

I put on the wiper delete kit from UPR today. It is a Satin finish, but I believe they offer polished as well. I'm not sure if I like them so I'd like some opinions.

Also threw on some used 10.5s and used Nitto DRs until I decide what wheels I'm going to buy. I also used a 3/8" Lethal Performance spacer with their extended lug nuts.

Opinions are welcome. Thanks!

so what do those things do? and how does it replace ur wipers?

so what do those things do? and how does it replace ur wipers?

Many Mustang owners remove the wipers for a cleaner look. So some places sell cover for the wiper knobs to clean up the cowl some. I've been told I should paint them black, or go with a flat top look.

My wipers are in the back seat and can be easily put on. I don't drive in the rain much, but I use them on occasion.

[Bruce Leroy]

Put the wipers back on, or Paint the caps black...

They remind me of those led windshield squirters you get at pepboys.

[BTEC]

yeah those wiper deletes are way too big and bulky to me. i like the car though.

[Benefit]

lol wtf why u need those things...just take the screw out, remove wiper and thats it...but idk why u wud wanna remove the wiper in the first place lol...wtf u gunna do in the rain?

[FasTech]

I only have one on the driverside. It does make a difference though, looks wise.


Rain-X and you should be fine unless its pouring down rain really bad.

[SmackedInATL]

Keep the opinions coming!!

I do not drive much in the rain!! Usually when its raining I don't go anywhere! I have a work car, so no worries about that!

[fivex684]

A black flat top cover would look way better in my opinion. Other than that the car looks great.

[DSGMach1]

I would def. give the a quick spray with black. It would make them stand out a lot less for a much cleaner look. As for the 10.5's they look great. I love them on mine too. It really looks so much better with the wheel sticking out even with the body.

What springs are on your car? Ride height looks great.

[DieselNuts]

Wheels look good man. Im glad to see them on there.

Cut stock springs. 3/4 coil all around.

Yep, you should have seen how nice the inner barrels cleaned up.:D

[DunDunSkeert]

hurray for manly tires!!!!

[silverDA]

they look good/

[nitrousfed]

paintem flat black and if you ever want to sell the wheels just let me know

[Turbodude06]

tires look good but paint the little nipples lol

[SmackedInATL]

paintem flat black and if you ever want to sell the wheels just let me know

Everything is for sale!!

[Halfwit]

paint black.

u blocked your tag in one pic, but not another?

some black wheels with a polished lip would be nice.

[CHADbee]

yeah id paint those things black without a doubt, they stick out too much.

car looks really good though!

[DieselNuts]

how are you liking the new found traction?

[josh green]

They are too big, black would have blended with the cowl also. If your looking for some traction those nittos arent really any better than a regular street tire. Get you some BFG's or MT.
My personal opinion, CCW classics on the mustangs are incredible.

[EJ25RUN]

Strange, if its raining, im prolly wanting to go driving. I guess domestic owners arn't like that.

not when you have drag radials and 400hp...

I can understand that. Different car for different uses.

On a sunny day above 50 degrees the will hook up nicely in 2nd. I run the Nittos because they get the best mileage.

[Got Milk?]

IMO what ou did is stupid and pointless!

[quickdodge®]

I've been told I should paint them black, or go with a flat top look.

You should so you can't see them. They look ugly sticking out like that. Paint them so they aren't so noticeable. Other than that, car looks great, man. Later, QD.

[stubbyda91]

car looks great... put your wipers back on

[Christopherr]

Mean stance...thank goodness for putting some meat on those wheels.

Wiper delete looks goofy...but as long as you like em', go for it!

[secondgencamaro]

I'm not seeing the pics. :/

[allen8603]

rainex ftw

[Dwisforme05]

i think your car looks like crap and you should just give it to me... :D :cheers:

[On_Her_Face]

Get the black vinal for the trunk in between the taillights.

[secondgencamaro]

I'm not seeing the pics. :/

Now I see. I love the 10.5"s. I could pass on the wiper deletes.

[swollix]

Like it! Ditto on what everyone else said.

[Me86Rob]

so what do those things do? and how does it replace ur wipers?

lol its also a myth or some shit that wipers on a mustang are bad luck.

[DSGMach1]

Cut stock springs. 3/4 coil all around.

Do you buy some C/C plates or were you able to align it without any? I lowered my old 96 about an 1.5" and it wore out the inside of my tires with the quickness and I need to lower my Mach bad.

[Nick Jeezy]

Strange, if its raining, im prolly wanting to go driving. I guess domestic owners arn't like that.

he never hooks up in the rain.
same for me its no fun to drive if your planing on going fast.

you just spin.

[swollix]

TRUE THAT. Cold is just as bad.

[Nick Jeezy]

thats forsure. my car is apart redoing some stuff for the up coming drift season so i havent drove in the cold. but i know in the rain its horrible. even with a 17x9.5 in the rear

[SmackedInATL]

I do not have any C/C plates on it. Maybe I should do that eventually. Right now the alignment is fine though...

[antiv6]

Looks good I like the wheels but wiper delete seem to draw more attention than wipers themselves

[mmmmpsi]

The reason most mustang owners take off their wipers is because I don't think ford has changed the design in 50 years and they are kinda ugly.. haha

The new body mustangs are different though I believe.

With that being said, I leave mine on. :)


AND traction?? What's that, I lost that when I killed my last set of MT DR's

[mmmmpsi]

I do not have any C/C plates on it. Maybe I should do that eventually. Right now the alignment is fine though...

Even though it drives straight unless you adjust your camber it's going to wear your front tires down bad on the inside.

[mmmmpsi]

Just curious, you have any engine upgrades on that thing?

[Deke]

eee, yeah not a fan of the look of the wiper deletes. Haha, they look like two silver dildos sticking out of your hood. I'd at least paint them, but something a little less phallus shaped would look best IMO. :)

The rest of the car looks great though. And yay for meaty tires!

[YoshiFD3S]

Put the wipers back on, or Paint the caps black...

What he said.

[EP3Hatch]

tires look good but paint the little nipples lol

That is what I was thinking!! They definately look like a set of nipples on there but, no doubt a great looking Mustang.

[MrBoostedCRX]

what a damn ricer, why would u do that....


lol jk, i fuckin love mustangs, im getting a 03 cobra in a couple of months...white or maybe black...

sick car!!! reps!!!

[UpSideDownDesi]

polish up those tail pipes, and the car looks good. I like it as is, clean.

[DSGMach1]

QFT

My 96 drove straight too and I didn't realize until we had it in the air that the inside of the front tires was to the wires lol. I would just keep an eye on the tread all the way across the tire for good measure though.

[Jason..]

Do they light up?lol jk

[Frög]

the wiper blades delete usually are black, so that you don't see them.. Hence DELETE.. Yours bring attention to them, they are ugly and .. .. excuse my English.. rice.. :2cents:

But other than that, I LOVE your car!! :goodjob:

Sicstang03 on here used the rubber things you put on the bottom of canes or chair legs.. You can't even see them.. Wiper deletes on Cobra's are almost necessary because the wipers don't hide behind the hood like most cars, they really pop out.. I would definitely do a wiper delete if I had a Termi..

[Frög]

Wats up with you passenger side exhaust? has it been cut?

[sTeadFasT]

Yeah i think it just looks like domestic rice...I'd say just put them back on.

[Black4DrEK]

dont like the 'delete' thing.. to delete them take them off and put the bolt(nut) back on...

ALL IN ALL the car still looks good and is PRETTY QUICK!!! watch out guys!!!:ninja:

[SmackedInATL]

Thanks guys!! I'm going to spray them after these temps rise. I'll post some update pics...



Just curious, you have any engine upgrades on that thing?

No upgrades right now. Just an intake.



Wats up with you passenger side exhaust? has it been cut?

Reps for being the first one to ever mention it in my pics on ANY forum...:ninja:

Yes, the original owner cut the tailpipe for some unknown reason. I think because the fitment was off. I'm getting a Bassini and polishing it out with MAC weld-ins.


polish up those tail pipes, and the car looks good. I like it as is, clean.

Read above...

WIPERS ARE NOT GOING BACK ON!! NOT AN OPTION!!:no:

thats all u need to whoop some ass huh

[SmackedInATL]

:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao:

That made me LOL. I don't really want to give up my combo coming up. I want it to be a surprise on the street.

[Logan]

I would absolutely not be surprised if a cobra whooped my ass in a straight line. No matter what engine mods!

Looks very good!

[MrBoostedCRX]

im seriuos lol, ive been in a v8 GT and its nearly bone stock, imagine ur car

[B_Hoov]

i would paint the delete's black to hide them, i completly took my motors/wiring/wipers out, i keep rain-x in the glove box

[speedminded]

What do the studs under those 50 caliber bullet things look like? Those things look ridiculous and don't flow at all. Nobody makes a black plastic cap to give it a clean flush look across the cowl?

I've had the wipers removed on my Integra since '04-05. It is alot cleaner and if you wash, polish, & wax your windows when the rest of the car is done then no need for them anyways. Anything over 10-20mph and water just beads off...i said what's the point of having wipers if I never use them anyways? If there is a circumstance where they are needed then they are available in the trunk/hatch, no big deal.

Your car has a near perfect stance for a mustang, wheel offset flows well too. Does anyone make a trunk with a similiar spoiler molded into it? The CSL version of the BMW M3 has one, subtle but amazing.

Thanks man. Not sure about the spoiler for a different car, although that M3 spoiler is mighty nice. I'm going to try to paint the deletes tomorrow on my day off, if they still look bad, I'm going to try some caps from Home Depot.

What about the original threaded end caps used to tighten down the wipers? Why not use them? How far up to the studs stick out, those bullet things look a bit excessive.

Nope. Nobody makes one already molded in for a 99-04 Mustang. They are all bolt on.
