Just get some Bosch. PIAA is way over priced, not worth it IMO. You can get some of that Rain-X stuff too, works real good on rainy days. You can just use the INT. even in heavy rain on the freeway.

Get ACURA OEM BLADES the kind that came on your car.
Then get a bottle of RainX windshield wash fluid to put in your washer. This combonation works well as reported on an auto TV show. I have also been doing this with my TL for almost 3years now. Just replace the blades every 6 months to one year.

I have the piaa silicon blades. I highly recommend them, it is a little over priced but they work far better, last longer and are much more quiet than the factory blades. If money is an issue I say stick with the factory and get a bottle of RAIN-X. Rain-X is the BOMB.

I have Bosch blades. They are quiet but I haven't had them for a long time so I'm not sure how they will hold up. I would have gotten the PIAA if I had the cash but the Bosch seemed like a happy medium.
As to the Rain-X washer fluid, I like it, but the only thing that sucks is that it leaves crazy water marks. I had just washed my car and decided to squirt some fluid on my windshield and after a few squirts the water stayed and dried up on my window and looked like crap.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I tried Rain X once, and it worked good, but it left streaks all over that were a beeeeiiiitch to get off. Now I use the Rain X washer fluid and OEM blades........seems to work okay for me

change the whole blade, doing refills is a pain in the ass.
I have silicon blades on right now, they're pretty good but i think the main this is that they last.

stick with OEM
Just a suggestion:
Stick with OEM and in the interim, use a little isopropyl alcohol on the blade each time you wash your car to max out the life of the wiperblade.
For those with Zaino -- just the Z2 once in a while and it leaves a GREAT hydrophobic layer on the glass. It saved my @ss yesterday night (crazy rain / thunderstorm) while driving at 60+ mph.
My $0.02
- derrick
'02 EBP TL Type-S
mods: OEM kit & spoiler, PIAA fogs, 20% tints, 3A racing tips, painted calipers & y-pipe, INSPIRE sills
future mods: springs, sways, CLEARED CORNERS (just need to install 'em), JDM conversion (?)
