Very 80's to me, I had these on several cars back then, but today, not my cup of tea anymore.

There's no need to highlight and draw your eyes to the windshield wipers. Keep them black so they blend in.

There's no point of bring attention to your wipers, keep them black.

Yea, the windshield wipers aren't meant to be a big aspect of your car and the eyes are just drawn toward them when they're painted to match. I'm going to say Nay as well

I see them on many "rice-y" cars now a days. I used to like them when I had my red car, but now they just don't look good to me, I'm not against you bro, its just something I feel like you will DEFINITELY stop liking.

Windshield wipers are just a functional thing.....not really eye candy. Keep them black.
