2008s - want new wiper blades?

So my stock blades are starting to streak. I wanted a set of PIAA silicone blades, but TireRack couldn't be bothered to list them for the 2008 yet (even though I'm fairly sure they have them). And you can't just go on the TR site and pick the blade size you want (you have to select your car first). So I started poking around eBay last night and found exactly what I wanted.

I don't usually link to eBay, but this seller has pretty good prices and has the 2008 sizes. And they combine shipping, which is nice.

eBay store here

Driver's side - 26"
Passenger's side - 18"

They have both the regular and the Sporza (those have the little wing on them). They have both types in black or "carbon fiber".

Glad to help.

I can't wait for my fake-CF blades to come.

I might try the curved ones, though should be pretty effective once the winter rolls around here. Where did you get the correct size for our cars, from though?

That'd be a tape measure.

Glad I'm not the only ricer getting the CF wipers.

I had the black ones last time I got the PIAAs, but I figured I'd get the CF this time. My car is too stock.

I ran the Bosch Icons on my EVO and ended up influencing a few friends to use them. Local stores carry them. Part number for the 08 GTS is 426A and 418A
