Over the years I noticed, depending on particular ZR-1 (or C4 in general) hood to windshield clearance variations are such that hood would have to be raised a hair by lengthening the hood pin and bumper to clear the wipers (even OEM wipers) on some cars. Also, my OEM 20" wiper would periodically collide resulting in driver side wiper jack-knifing and scraping the hood edge. After I had my car painted I opted for 19" Trico Neoform (beam type) wipers for cleaner sweep. Luckily Neoform fits under the hood edge with less than 1/16" clearance.
