Okay so I went ahead and bought these too...heck they were only $40. And knowing me I had to make some huge writeup about them. Hope you guys enjoy . The short of it...the silicone wipers do wipe better...they do cause water to bead...and I do think they were worth the $40.

However...if you have brand new wipers I'd just wait until they were worn out before replacing them with these. These wipers will last longer versus rubber because, just like your tires age with UV light, so do your wipers, but worse because they're on your windshield. Even so...there's not some amazing improvement...wipers only wipe so much. But the silver wipers definitely accent my car much better...I thought it'd be ricey at first but now I think it looks pretty good. And it matches the forthcoming aluminum trim nicely ...so first...videos...

And of course some pics. I'm not going to bother posting too many wiping pics...I do have two that show a good difference...and of course the setup I used to test them and the new look of silver eyebrows . As for my setup...yes I DID have to run and hop in the car and run and get out when I was changing the wiper blades...because I had no one to turn the water off for me. No, you can't laugh. I mean it.

Pretty painless mod and yeah worth it...but not if you have brand new rubber blades IMHO. But it sure looks good (and again...I almost had my bodyshop paint em body color).

just to let you know...I think both your .mpegs are linking to the same movie...

otherwise...good documentation job.

 

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking about getting these when it's time to change my wipers. I always have to justify any mods to my CL-S to the CFO-my wife.

 

Good info! Where can these be ordered?

 

chikai:

kool great review.

I actually wax my windows too so they already bead. but im sure it'll fucken kick ass w/ these silicon wipers plus the wax. but 40 dollars for wipers crazy for me

 

Thanks for the review!

 

This rivals a Shawn S picture fest.

 

Were these the ultrasilblade? Were these the black with stainless steel frame? Did they come in the correct size?

Not if they last until you sell or trash your car...

JasonT:
Yes and yes and yes. They're 24" and 19". The stainless steel frames are silver...blades are black. Looks pretty sharp.
