I'm not sure anyone has mentioned it yet or not, but is there any chance of, Hiding the windshield wiper arms?

Who all her would be interested in it?

Thanks,

Ty

Lightbulb hidden wipers

Ty,

That's an interesting idea. Kind of like a lot of the '70s GM cars where the hood came back to the windshield and flared up t allow a gap for the wipers and the venting for the heater/AC (I wonder why no cars use that anymore?). It would be as if you grafted the cowl panel to the back of the hood and made it one piece and flared it up in the back. Heck, you might as well graft the header panel on the front too, that would give you a long hood like the second gen Camaros. The only problem I see is that the hinge position might have to change in order for the back of the extra long hood to clear the cowl and windshield when it is opened. If it does clear, you wouldn't have that safety slot under the hood to look through in case the hood flew open while you're driving. That would take some experimenting, but it would make for a streamlined look without so many gaps. Another thing that might be hard to get around is that the wipers sit proud of the surface of the cowl panel, so they may have to be repositioned deeper into the cowl so you don't end up with a really high hood near the windshield.
