IF ur gonna buy it from autozone or pepboys or whever they sell em, you can ask the information desk, thas wha I did for my mom's car. They have a computer with every car and size, our's should be same as all the other generation.

HEY!!! Now maybe you can help me out, I also have a silver coupe and Im gettin my CF hood in a few days. How was installation and what hood did you get? Im getting the VIS-racing. Im honna hook up my hood at the store cuz I can't fit it in my car on the drive home, how long did it take, wasit easy? Also, do you still have ur nozzles, Im gonna NOT have them on. If u didn't install the nozzles, how did you disconnect ur wiper accessory, or do u jus not use it?


Thanks!

I think stock are 16", but you can fit 18" blades easily. 20" just barely scrapes the edge trim of the windshield. So go with 18" and they'll work fine. I reccomend the dual-blade wipers if you can find them, they work extremely well ...

as far as size goes, for the coupe/sedan, its driver-21", pass-19", however, you can fit a 22" or even a 23" on the drivers side for that extra little bit, also i have to disagree with the comment about the dual wipers, i had to get two packs because of the different sizes, i used both assemblies, meaning when one set wen bad, i put on th other set, i didnt think that they did any better than the single blade wipers.

note, if you do get dual blad wipers, youll have to get an inch SHORTER, atleast on the passenger's side, maybe not the driver's dunno, i just got an inch shorter on both sides with them. the passenger's side will scrape the trim on the side of the windshield if you get stock size because of the way theyre made

does anyone here have the new HydroClear blades? My windshield sucks at clearing water; would these help? If not, what can I do. Kind of off topic, but sort of related...

you can apply rain-x, the wipe on kind, not the washer fluid additive.

if you use the wipe on kind, follow the directions to the T, i rushed mine and it was a little blurred and was very annoying because i tried and treid to clean it off with various kinds of glass cleaner and it didnt come off, once its on, it has to "wear" off.

anyway, the reason i say NOT the washer fluid additive is because my dad used it in his truck for a few years and it started to make the paint fade where the "dribble" from the washer nozzles were, i mean after you spray your windshield with the washer fluid, there are a few extra drops left on the hood of the car. after a while they will harm your paint if you use the washer additive, besides, before we noticed this, i used it in my first car, and never really noticed a difference.

in summation, GET Rain-X, the wipe on kind, and put it on as directed, its cool to watch the water bead off, and run up the windshield, you feel like youre going really fast. and in light rain, you dont even need your wipers, it does the work for you

just re-apply when its not working like it used to!(ususally every few months, depending on how much it rains)

good luck!
