PIAA Wiper Blades

I went to PIAAs site and they say 21" for drivers side and 19" for the passenger side...but the place I see selling the blades doesn't say they offer a 19" blade...do I go for a 15" one or another 21" one...I'm guessing the 15" one but will it work well. Anyone have these? I want them in carbon fiber.

If you can't get the 21-19's...Try 20-18's...There's not that much of a difference(not sure about the PIAA's sizes)

all those cars have HID's, which are classy. PIAA's are halogens, like stock lights, and they are not significantly brighter than stock. they also cost like $90 for a pair of bulbs, IMO a big waste

there has been tests on piaa and piaa-like bulbs. all decreased visability over stock. they burn out quick too.
im not talking about a true high intensity discharge system

So how is that "rice". There are lots of things that I think suck but that doesnt mean it rice.

to comment on this thread, unlike some of the other ASSES here.

The PIAA wiper blade the exact same thing as the California Water Blade, it has a silicone blade instead of a rubber blade. I think i will get those when i have enough money, seeing how my wiper blades are turing to crap now

So what's the anwser to my question lol [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. I want them in carbon fiber, what size do I get/can I get.

I can't wait to have rice windshield wipers. Lets see, I figure since they are PIAA blades and all, they are probably more aerodynamic and since they are carbon fiber (AKA WICKED LIGHT), that will cut 1 second off my 1/4mile time. Track times coming soon!!!!!

Matt

PS - My Kaminari Body Kit is RICE too cuz they make a larger size wing.
