Default PIAA Carbon fiber wiper blades!

PIAA makes great blades but the carbon fiber trim has such a sexy look, and you dont need to pay rediculous spoon prices.

Im curious as to what sizes we would use.

They're CF-look, not actual wet or dry carbon fiber. They look alot better in flat black. I actually have a pair of them on my car.

They're like 2+ years old now and work as good as new despite the fact I live in the tropics.

I wonder how much r&d they performed to confirm that their aerodynamic spoiler reduces lift. It appears that they don't have the driver's side(16") blades. Just the Passenger (20") blades. I guess my weight in the driver's side will be enough to offset the downforce being generated from the passenger side wiper blade spoiler.

regardless of who is retarded enough to buy overpriced wiperblades, my point was:

Why on earth would you buy fake carbon fiber wiper blades...or cf wiper blades of any type for that matter? Why would you pay to look like an idiot ricer?

I didnt read the details too much, didnt know they were fake, figured since they werent made in japan they didnt need a 400+ dollar price tag, but screw the cheap shit!
