Trick for windshield wipers?

I looked for a windshield in a junk yard but the price was too close to the one that I got from a glass place. I can get the windsheild and have it installed for $200. So I figured why bother doing it myself.

turn the wiper arms up(like you were cleaning the windshield) and just yank back and forth a couple times and they are off...I did this today...The arms would not move laying on the windshield tho.

I like how some of the people on my local racing forum clown these weight reductions. I think they will understand when my car is still some-what apealing on the inside, and running 11s on a stock internal 50k origional motor, cam tune and all!
There is sooooooo much **** in the car that you really don't need. The only thing I miss is a cup holder. Makes for a fun ride home from jack in the box in my m6

How is SI if there is a cam, dont understand, also why did you take the wipers off isn't it a daily driver, also why the glove box and the piece under the steering wheel, can't you see a bunch of wires now for only about 5lbs saving, unless you are going for a complete stripper...i thought you wanted to keep the stock appearance inside.

As for the panels/glove box, I'm ordering some light-weight platic sheeting to fab a few covers.
Chris: pull the panel that has your trunk relese button on it , you'd be surprised how heavy that little plastic panel is.
I laugh at people who disagree with pulling **** out that only weighs a few pounds, because when they look at my pile of 30 things that weigh three pounds each, they might begin to understand why my car is faster than theirs.

I would really put that rear one on, the front isn't all that bad, the only reason I took mine off is to put the wolf racecraft on in. No rear sway bar + Sticky tires+ High Speeds = Scary 1/4 Mile experience.
