SOARER rear wiper question.

I'm no longer too crazy about the rear wiper, In fact, I've given up on it...Some Soarers had it while some Soarers didn't, I suppose it was just an optional part...And I agree, It does take away from the smooth lines of the SC. Although, If I stumbled across one, I wouldn't hesitate in picking one up.
For those who have actual Soarers, Do you guys love or hate the rear wiper?
I think this thread deserved a bump LOL!

Btw, This is the only known Lexus SC300 in North America (At least that I know of) to have done the rear wiper conversion...Don't bother PMing this guy as he never responds and last I heard, He was banned from these forums.

Definitely a nice addition, for anyone with a USDM Lexus SC looking to complete that JDM Soarer look.

^^ did you ever look into the glass cutter option? it would be ther easier option if it can be done. im no glass expert. but i could def retro a diff unit into my sc if i had the hole cut.
but since this is a JDM "bling" topic. anyone know where these rear side marker pieces can be found? or at least a proper name, and if they came OEM? i cant find ANY info on them. =[

I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to Soarers, I've never seen those on a Soarer before and I'm almost certain those rear side markers never came on Japanese Soarers from the factory...Those ^^^ look like they were retrofitted on much later to conform to another country's (Other than Japan) local traffic vehicle code laws it seems like.
P.S I had a friend who had those same rear side markers outfitted onto his R32 Skyline...When he got his car here to California (From Canada).

I don't think it can be done, It seems the rear defroster panels on USDM Lexus SC's are in the way of where the hole would've gone through on JDM Soarer models...It's better to just get an actual Soarer rear window (With wiper of course and yes, The rear windows are different) and swap it from there...But unfortunately for us Lexus SC guys, That's a task in itself.

Depending on which country you're importing to (or which inspector you take your car to), they may demand that rear-corner reflectors be installed on the vehicle. It's much easier for importers to slap on 2 cheap reflectors rather than swap out some USDM tails to get the car registered. Hence, you sometimes see these reflectors installed on exported Soarers.

Thought I'd do a quick post about the rear wiper look as I took advice from earlier in this thread today and fitted a rear wiper from a Subaru Forrester. It fitted straight on but I did need to file about 5mm of plastic away to clear the squirty nozzle. Apart from that no problem and I'm sure you agree it looks a damn site better!
