PIAA Super Silicone Wipers... installed

well... i got home at like 6:30 tonight to find a nice brown box on my chair. open it up. 2 beautiful new PIAA Super Silicone windshield wipers. i open the box and rush outside into the darkness. grab the half frozen hose, wash my windshield with some car soap, and then dry it. next i wipe it down with the silicone and alcohol soaked cloth. let it sit for 10 minutes, and wipe off. then i clip the wipers to the arms and let them run on the dry windshield as directions said to do. then i sprayed massive amounts of water on the windshield and they performed beautifully.

silent, and crystal clear water removal.

after that came my application of rainx and that is cool as hell too. i wet my windshield and went around my block. no wipers, but all the beads of rain flew off unlike before.

just felt like sharing the fun experiences. lol

spiffy...i wish i had the money to spend on little nifty thingers, right now my windsheild wipers or sprayers dont even work, since they both stopped at the same time im guessing its the switch...bah now i gotta poke around and see if i can figure it out b4 april showers come.....

Sweet. :cool: You'll be thankful for those wipers during hard rains!

that's tight man - how much did you spend for those & where did you get them? I need some new wipers pretty soon, so maybe i can just upgrade =)

I agree. Normally I hate rain with a passion, but now with these PIAA's I kinda look forward to it.

They're the best wipers I've ever seen.

what abt snow?

Do you have a pic of them fuggi? Do they look like stock? Cause I wanna get em but I dont want them to look like those big ass ricer wipers!! U know which ones im taking about.....:D

They're great in snow and ice too. They look JUST like stock, unless you get the carbon-ricer finish. But the black ones look great. They just say PIAA and SILICON in white very small on them. I'm in love with them I think it's one of my favorite, most functional mods.

TIP!!!

I used to use the Bosch wipers which are garbage. They wear out in a month and are worthless. So then I'd spend another $25 for more....cuz that was the best available.

The PIAA's are a $45-$60 investment. BUT....REFILLS are only $6 each! And the blades are supposed to last a year. The math works itself out.

S*** I should be working for PIAA promoting!!!

Where did you find them?

$18 for the driver side $15 for the passenger side. and $10 for shipping from http://www.optauto.com.

Item#: PIA-93055
Item#: PIA-93045

lowest price i could find. one place wanted over $30 EACH! but i looked around a bit.

thanx a lot man - you should be getting commission for this stuff :D

i wish

by the way.. i didn't mention that it's been rainging like a mofo here as i hoped. and i got to test out the new wipers. i've never seen such a thing in my life. when you turn them on after rain has built up.. it all sheets away with one wipe. and its so amazing how well they get rid of water. i had it on INT even in downpours! visibility is amazing. if your gonna buy wipers, or just want amazing rain quality vision... get these damn wipers. i'm bout to start a groupbuy.. (i wish)

Civic 96-00:
driver blade: 20" adapter: C1
pass blade: 18" adapter: C1

and from the site j.fuggi gave us, for the 96-00 wipers, they're $21 and $18 respectively - not bad. I'll keep looking around for a better price so if i find one, j.fuggi can bang his head into his keyboard =)

I got minez here...the place is in Canada. Cheapest I found when I bought em.\

I noticed you have your front lip, side skirts and rear lip painted. I just bought a 00 type-r lip and grill, so I need to have them and my side skirts colored matched. One placed I went to here in Dallas wants $450. Is that normal? Seems steep to me.
