PIAA Super Silicone Wipers... installed

j.fuggi · 03-25-2002, 09:00 PM

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

Sweet.

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?

iLLuCiv99 · 03-26-2002, 12:56 PM

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.....

FLAWLESS · 03-26-2002, 01:53 PM

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!!!

HXCivic97 · 03-26-2002, 10:17 PM

i wish

j.fuggi · 03-26-2002, 11:15 PM

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)
