K-001: OFFICIAL Wiper Blades Thread (All Wiper Blade related threads are merged here)

Is it me or has anyone else noticed the cheap wiper blades that come with the TL. I thought these were done away with in new cars a long time ago. Even the Accord brings the new tyoe blades for $15k less.

Has anyone replaced them yet?

I conquer that they work well, I was gearing my concern about the looks. IMO they look antiquated or out dated.

I concur too, they work fine. Besides, I'm too busy looking at the ugly stock rims that Acura put on my beautiful TL, as the blades don't stand out as much as the rims do.

That's one thing I noticed when I first saw the base 4Gs on the dealer lot - base rims - not quite as nice as the base 3G rims

PIAA Super Silicones on mine within the first week. GA sun really shortens the life of regular blades.

Well you can say what you like about the grill, but you can never call it antiquated or dated.

I showed the car to a friend of mine, and he looked at the front, then went to the back and said "Wow it looks like a Transformer." =)

PIAA Super Silicones look pretty good. Did you get the curved ones or regular ones?
