Hey guys. It's been crazy weather here in Socal and my wipers are SHOT. I need new wipers. What would you guys recommend. OEM's, RainX, Bosch, or your opinions and suggestions with experience if possible. Thank you guys in advanced.

Bosch Icons FTW. I had those things on my BMW. They are the greatest wipers Ive ever seen. Blow these stock ones out of the water!

Thanks for the info dude. Where can I buy some of those? Would they be available at pep boys, AutoZone or NAPA? Anyone else have info on wipers. Damn dude I ordered my wheels for the Stillen show and I just got an email that they will not be here till next week on monday or tuesday. I'm still going to get the prokit at the show. Hook it up with a discount if you get one dude. LOL J/K Unless you want to. HAHA

I can only get discounts for others under very special circumstances. Sorry. You can buy the wipers at any auto store really.

In the past i have used bosch. I ask for the cream of the crop at advanced auto.

Either they are icon as blake has said or they are platinum. That maybe spark plugs, but bosch wipers are the way to go.

I replaced the crappy stockers with Bosch Icons 3 days after I got the coupe, while they look the same the Bosch don't streak and miss spots!

+1. Same for me. Wipers work perfectly winter/summer.

Thanks for the help guys. So far it looks like Bosch ICONS are the best way to go unless anyone else has an opinion on the matter. Once again thanks guys for the info and help.

Amazon has a buy one get one free rebate on the Bosch Evolutions right now. They are very similar to the Icons.

LOL measure them (a dollar is six inches) 1/3 is two....I think they were 28" driver and like 17" pass...check first...There is also a A and B type for driver/pass. Most places will put them on free if you buy them at a store..Takes 10 seconds btw

I just checked 28"/17"
