Default V-Tech paintable wiper covers- anyone on here have these?



At $50-$75 a pair, they're not bad and make a big difference on the looks of the front of the truck. I want a pair to go with my Street Scenes smooth wiper cowl!

I like them! I'm trying to get rid of all the nasty black plastic on my truck and these make the wipers look beefy.


To each his own, I suppose...

why not just paint the factory wiper arms ? those covers might look kinda goofy from the inside and could possibly screw up the way the wipers work. how is it suposed to wipe the water away when it gets to the sides when all the water is trapped in a box.

that's ricey... about as bad, if not worse than a wiper cowl. The factory black is designed to not draw attention, yet provide function, you are actually highlighting the wipers with that!

ugh, sorry, the factory black plastic on these GM vehicles is chinsey at best. you can have it. maybe it's just me, but I'll do anything to get rid of the black plastic. I think you could paint the wipers, but it just draws attention to them and they aren't much to look at. These covers at least have a clean look about them.

TX, that's an interesting point. I will look into that, but I would say they likely wouldn't affect functionality of the wipers, because if they did, they probably wouldn't sell many of them...
