    Default Put the 10.5s on the Cobra with UPR wiper delete

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

    Cut stock springs. 3/4 coil all around.

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

    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.

    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.

    how are you liking the new found traction?

    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.

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