Thanks to Austinxxx, I finally decided to take the plunge. I'm suprised how well they match the OEM chrome/silver trim!
Here are some pics so that you guys can have a general idea on what Ultra Silblades look like on an ABP.

I bought these guys awhiel ago, and so far they have been pretty good wipers. Although I went with black ones instead of the silver.
They do leave a coating on the glass similar to RainX, and they have been very quiet although they took a little bit to break in and coat the glass. Initially I had some chatter which was the exact reason why I bought these, but that has since disappeared.
Still not sure yet if I would recommend these over Anco's which are considerabley less $$$

So these blades actually work? The stock wipers I have suck. Instead of clearing the rain from my windshield, they just smear the water across it so it's even more obscure than before

Tell me more about these Anco's you speak of! Are they just regular replacements or some special wiper made of space-age polymers?!

Only when dry. Just like how the california waterblade sounds when you wipe it on a dry car. I think all silicone products behave the same way.

Hmm, so I'm at silblade.com and can't say that the checkout process is very intuitive. I mean, do I choose 2 Front Blades for a 2003 Acura TL-S or 1 Front 1 Rear (which doesn't make any sense)? I don't see any information regarding the wiper length for both the driver and passenger sides.
Edgalang, did you make your purchase at this site?

Nevermind. I emailed them and got a quick response. Just place the order as 2 Front Wiper Blades, and they will figure it out (don't do REAR). They state the reason for not listing blade length is due to frequent changes, and when the order is placed, they'll figure it out. BTW, $22 a pair, includes shipping for a total of $44.
