I am about to order a few sets for the shop and a set for my truck as well. I think they give better life and cold weather performance than cheap rubber blades. I may even get the carbon fiber print:cool: . I am planning on going up to the mountains this winter and will need a good cold weather blade. My OEM blades streak and act weird whenever it gets below 50 degrees! agh!
Blades are 40 bucks a pair and refills are 15 a set.
Whitebeast- one pair 20" refills...
Pump- one set black wipers.
Mustgofaster- one set 18" black wipers
PIAA's are in, I have 2 sets for gen2 and 2 sets for gen1 in stock. I also have Steve's refills. I have a set of 21" blades if someone wants to see how they fit..

I'll take another set. I still have the set I bought from you at least 2 years ago if not longer. They work great:tu:

T, what length are you getting for your truck? The spec is 21", but it looks to me like 22" would work fine and clear a greater area of the windshield.

Great timing, the oem's are wearing out. I will take a pair.:tu:

I forgot if we got the silicone or the rubber last time... I want the silicone due to the poor runoff charateristics of the F250 windshield.

read for info here.
They make 18,19,20,21,22 I was going to do 20's like the f150 uses. Maybe 21's. I just hate buying the cheapo Anco wipers every 3-4 months!

I got the super silicone in the carbon fiber look last time- I would like the same. These things last a long time and worth every penny IMO.

Now If I could just get my hands on some Slyvania Xenarcs I would be a happy camper

I'd like a set of 18"s for my Gen1... The complete blade; how much?

You're right, 20" is the spec, but I think a 21" would work better. There's clearance on the sides, and the 20's leave a lot of uncleared glass in the upper 1/3 of the windshield.

I'll take a set. It's about time to replace the factory blades on my 00. :D

I try to never use the wipers, right before Lfest I had to bleach out my wiper fluid reservior because the fluid was several years old and had changed color and reeked of mildew with a scum on top.

What are you charging for these? I might want to buy a set for the BMW as well.

To catch Dana up a little here.. You know how many pistols Glock has produced? I would say in the tens of millions. Guess what the serial number of mine is...

The fear of the number 666 is called hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia).
