nah they are actually pretty good. i bought aftermarket ones then returned them and got OEM inserts cause they were shit.
Word. Inserts are cheap enough and I went through the same thing: put on aftermarket wipers and got a wicked amount of chatter and squeaking. Went back to OEM and it was silent like a ninja.
Here are the notes I jotted down for a 2014 Tech Wagon (I believe the fronts are the same for the sedan):
Front DS Wiper Blade PN 76622-SLN-A12
~$4.43 from Acura
~$4.31 from Honda
Front PS Wiper Blade PN 76632-SHJ-A12
~$4.03 from Acura
Not Avail from Honda (not sure about alt PNs)
Rear Wiper Blade PN 76622-S50-003
~$4.07 from Acura
~$3.94 from Honda

nice, thanks (and iCrap)
maybe it's not the wipers then. I'm seeing what appears like grease marks when I use them though. When I use the washer fluid, it's fine.. but once the window gets cleared up and I flick it a couple more times, it looks a blurry mark near the part where the passenger side wiper makes its full rotation (so near the middle of the windshield). When my driver side wiper comes back down, it creates an even bigger smudge when it goes over that part.
I'm not sure what it is.. I've washed my car several times with decent car soap (includes the wipers), and the issue still remains. Maybe I need new inserts? My car is pretty new... it just started telling me I'm low on washer fluid for the first time.
That mid-arm pseudo streak? Yeah, I got that too...
I figured the blade was fuxxored from a pine needle that got stuck there a while back. Now I'm starting to think not...
Same here. I even tried wiping down the blade with a paper towel after a car wash and still get that. I'm gonna try a different insert next time. The last 2 were OEM. Wonder if replacing the arm would help?
It's actually the metal strip that goes into the insert, it's not bent correctly so it does that. Pretty sure if you mess with it for a while you'll get it right, but I've just been too lazy to do that lol. I did for a little bit but gave up
it should sound exactly the same tho lol... cause you already had that rubber thing taken out.
The gap between the 2 pipes was only like 1/8 inch tho without the rubber coupler, and when you drove the pieces would shift and they would be almost back together. Its definitely noticeably louder now.
the city is doing some kind of work behind my house.
looks like they're using helicopters to pick up something heavy. yes, two helicopters going back and fourth.
pretty fucking cool!

Ah ok. I had mine out totally for a while but it droaned like a mofo, so now i have it back in there but there's a big hole in the side... so it's quiet until you really get on it.

Nice. I wonder if you'll feel any big gains just having it without the FP.
I averaged 33MPG on my little 800 mile road trip this weekend, before dime feng's map i could never break 28.5. Good stuff.
Front bumper did not do well. something must have fell off a car and hit it or rocks or something.... big chunk taken out of my grille and bumper.

You guys referring to the JDM headlights where the amber is clear? Or the EDM bi-xenon lights? I like both... but makes no sense to spend on the JDM one if it's just a piece of reflector that's different
am starting the process; send PM if there is something you want from my mods.
parts i never installed will be first up. i will take apart the suspension in the next few weeks before it gets too cold.
check the Black market.
i will be selling a set of depo with clear marker from fishcake
mine have OEM brand new ballast and igniter.
Phillips CBI 5000K low beam
VLEDS 1800 lumen DRL/High 5000k
VLEDS Triton Switchbacks 5000k
TRS Clear lenses
Amber LED Devil eyes
Sequential LED signals.
and like 50 or 100 gram silicate bags in case any moisture gets in...the biggest ones I could fit, I cant recall the exact amount LOL
At this time its ALL or nothing. I will make you a good deal.
After they are out, then we will see about parting things out.
Last week someone called dibs on the CBI bulbs LOL.....but like I say, i prefer to sell as ONE UNIT and will make you a great deal.
What the fuck. Some fucktard scratched my car.... I mean, it'll buff out, literally, but still... like wtf yo. How much more fucking room do I have to give you. I already park beyond the yellow line.... -_- Fuck my uni. People can't drive for shit and don't give a shit if they fuck up someone else's car... Like today, I park alone at the corner spot next to the elevator and some fuckass decides to park right next to me when there were a gazillion empty spots.... like it was literally empty and they shose to park right fuckijng next to me....
Like wtf could even cause that.... It's like lines.....
Late reply lol, but that looks like it's actually caused by passenger getting in/out of your car and their jeans/metal shit on the corners of Jean pockets rubbing against the paint. I have so much of that shit on my car after my sister drove it for 2 weeks. And my moms cars rear doors are pretty much filled from her getting in/out of her car in the garage since she parks too close to the side.
So, as soon as you hit 100MPH in sport mode it slams into 5th gear. wth? what's the point?
doesn't do that in drive.
Like just sport mode? or Sport - M mode? lol

Maybe.... who knows though Have yet to buff it out, but I barely notice it anyways lol. Washed my car today and didn't even remember about that being there...
Probably because your final gears are over drive.. meant for cruising, not meant for taking a load.
Yeah but it wasn't at the top of third, it was like 4k. And also if you are in Drive it won't do that. It's just something they have set with the sport mode (on all Acuras apparently) to go into the last gear at 105mph.
