New wipers - Recommendations?
It's time to get new wipers for the Max, I don't know if they've ever been changed. I did a quick search and came up with two popular ones...
Bosch Icon's & Rain-X Latitude's
Just wondering which wipers you guys have on your Maxima's and if you could recommend good ones. Vouching the the above two is great as-well

Get Anco Contours from Rockauto. They are a great winter and summer blade and with Anco's current rebate they are practically free.

I've been using Bosch Evolutions for a while. They have been working nicely on several cars. I don't know what the difference is from the Icons, but they are a bit less expensive.
I tried the Goodyear blades from Costco on two occasions. They price was nice, but were complete crap both times.

It rains the majority of the time here, I figure I'll spend the extra cash and get the best! Looking into Bosch Icons (I like the look..)
Got a price check and it's going to cost $51.52 after tax, Lorcdo was $75.04. Back to square one, confusion.

Basically, PIAA vs Bosch vs OEM is where I'm at right now. I always over-think the smallest things.

Everyone has their own preference so maybe pick a recommended blade and see what your own opinion is. Personally I found Bosch to be good or for the price the Michelins at Costco weren't bad either.

Bosch and Rain-X are the top brands for wipers. Rain-X Latitude is a great option. They are conventional wiper blades, available in different sizes. The contoured beam ensures that the blade hugs the windshield for streak-free visibility, and the graphite blade delivers a smooth, chatter-free wipe.

Alright the verdict is in and it looks like I'm not getting the PIAA Aero's (4-6 week wait) and I'll just get the regular ones for $45 (tax in). I might throw a picture up later for sh*ts and giggles. I like how PIAA's are refillable.

The piaa's don't appear to be anything special looks like since they put their logo on some metal back wipers the price goes up. Do they add 10 hp too lol. The flexible wipers are good in the fact they don't get as much ice build up and easier to clean making them better in the winter aswell but hey each to their own. +1 on the org wiper logos lol

I'd do .org stickers! They're nothing special in terms of looks, but they should be pretty damn amazing when I get out in the rain! I just like the fact they're refillable.
Side note, where can I get .org stickers?! I need stickers for my Max, it has none!

I do like the look of the Bosch Icons, but ice build up isn't really a concern where I am. Happy with the purchase and might get Icons in the future, who knows To put the driving in perspective I fill up the car every 1-2 months (full tank)

Might not use it all the time, but so far the only thing I've done is maintenance, the new rims, and these wipers. So nothing too expensive... yet. I'll use it more when I have more things to do in a day haha.
I spend my days on the forum and training for the Forces.
