Just unbolt one wiper and remove it, then unbolt the other one and rotate it up a bit (so it kinda wipes the driver's side, too) and tighten it back down.

Looks silly IMHO.

You're thinking of the optional rear wiper.

Those headlght covers are an ENORMOUS improvement. Funny how how there are no aftermarket headlight covers that make round lights look like our 996's. HMMMMM

actually, there are headlight coverws out there.
nnjr had a car show a few months back, and one of the attendees was selling them.
you might want to get in touch with graig ploetner, concours chair for more info.
his contact info is on nnjr's website.

Sparks 259, you're saying that there are headlight covers for 993's or 997's that will convert a round headlight to look like a 996? Remarkable.
