it looks better than I thought it would, and it's functional. Several years ago it was 'popular' to take one wiper arm off and use only one.
I wouldn't get it because this is what comes to mind:

Had it on my '96 Elantra. Haven't had it since '99 and don't think I would.

Well, it originally became popular after Lamborghini came out with the Countach with a single wiper. The trend lasted a while and then faded until the import scene picked it up in the 90's. It lasted a bit and then became synonymous with riced out crap Hondas. I just think it's a trend that belongs in past.

Nope. The single wiper only works with some windshield shapes. On most windshields, it leaves too much of the surface un-wiped. The windshield needs to be close to a 2:1 ratio width to height and relatively flat. Might work on the Genesis sedan or Equus.
