      Driving my 69 camaro x country instead of shipping, now need wipers need opinions

      I decided on the driving experience instead of the expense worry and trouble of shipping ,I dropped a ls1 4l60e c6 brakes ,but the wipes were a after thought ,after driving in the rain last night I need one bad, the stocker for looks only and does not look good!
      I went to order one from DSE but got price shock, there were around $300 something when I was building it now its over $500.! they are suppose to go up not down. I can see if they added a washer fluid pump and a 69 style switch but it still has neither.
      I looked at Newport wipers kit and is priced much better but does not look as good as DSE wiper.
      I looked at posts on here for hours about junkyard s-10/ 05-09 B-O-P /gen3 f body but got more confused the more research I did.

      I like to make things fit and it has a new AAW wire harness , but I still did not hook up the cruise control because I do not feel like messing with the the wiring and I might will not use it..like the wiper motor but Its a must have.

      So looking for cheap, easy and good looking. got around $200-300 max to spend and 2 weeks to get it done.

      Any suggestions? Also if your selling one let me know ,I do not use pay pal but will next day $$$.

      I have the JHunter harness and a known good wiper motor I will sell you-never installed. You will have to make a plate to mount it to the fire wall, but that's it.

      Look at this thread:

      Thanks for the 411, what do you have for a wiper motor? I thought the ones I mentioned were direct bolt on and the wiring would be the problem?
      I was hoping to pick up a 2000 cad or s-10 motor and try to get it to work without was or delay with the OE wires/switch.
      The DSE looks great and seems easy to install but the price and not having a washer seems like a downgrade from stock..the opposite of what pro touring is in the first place. Not that I want the washer option but for the price it should have it.
      . Im moving from Ma. to Fl. in august .
      Wish I did the wiper kit when I was building it. I did not expect to drive it as much as I do because I bought a new c6 grand sport last year. I enjoy my Camaro more and the roads suck so bad here in Ma. I do not want to ruin the vette, the Camaro is cheaper to fix after I move.
      BTW, rain x is all I have on my 55 for over 25 years, but doesn't work as good on the Camaro.

      get the dse kit it works great and you really don't need a washer. i use the heck out of mine on the last 2 power tours (the whole tour) they are worth the money. you got a nice car anyway!!

      The wiper motor I have is the same one DSE uses and the one recommended in the JHunter thread in post #2. I can't remember what application it is from? I think it is a late 90's Pontiac Bonneville or a Cadillac Deville.

      I can email you pics and a price if you PM me your email address.

      Thanks Pm sent.
      Its not that I want or need the washer function, just saying for the price it should come with it and a 69 looking switch.
