I know this isnt technically the right place for this but I want as many people to get in on it before they are gone or the deal is over 
Had mine for 2 yrs that I paid $80 for the pair, they work great but I wasnt about to pay $80 again...when I saw this I ordered immediately too.

So how good are these? I'm still on my original OEM wipers from the factory, although they have developed a couple cracks, they still clean streak- anf chatter-free like new. For the price, can these wipers deliver the same performance?

Great... I was looking at these last week but they were more than the Bosch Icons (same type of wiper blade) I could get at Autozone, so I bought those
.
I seriously put off buying them for like a month and now these go on sale.
Oh well, might as well buy these as well

As far as performance:
I have had mine on the car through two buffalo winters and summers and they only now have begun streaking. Also, they have never, EVER chattered. At $20 a set you can get two sets and have 4 years of them. Thats really good since wiper blades are technically supposed to be changed every year I believe.
Yes, they seriously were $40 EACH 2 years ago when they first came out.

I have been meaning to replace my wipers for a while now, my car has one regular and one winter blade 
(previous owner)
I wanted to get some decent wipers and have been looking at the Valeo and the Sillblade, the Valeo suddenly looks a whole lot better

And I just got new winter blades for my truck last week.

I bought em, they're sitting in my back seat right now. Kind of lazy putting them on. Hasn't rained here in a while.
With winter coming here in CT, does anyone have any info on how these are with snow/ice? If they are just good for rain I'd rather not wear and tear them through the winter.

Lets run their inventory out!
I put mine on a couple days ago, no rain yet though
I noticed the old ones had the rubber cracked about 4" in the middle of both blades, and there went the smooth contact.
I only bought one pair, but like I said, they last 2 years even in Buffalo.

I have PIAA super sporzas--the silicone type, they're awesome and you can buy the "refills" and everything for about $10/wiper I think. I like the look of 'em better than these, and I like the fact that they're silicone... the PO actually had these on the car but they were old and chattery.
Eh. I do like them though and might get a set anyway just to compare to the silicones. Windshield wiper comparison, anybody?

Ive had PIAA super sporza, and what sucked is you can only have the spoiler one on the driver side bc they dont make the one in the 17" for the passenger, so you need two kinds of wipers on the 6th gen. PIAA faded to an ugly matte black as well, I still got them, but I wouldnt buy again.
Im a bit of a wiper freak, Ive had 5 different sets of wipers on this car in 3 years I think...Valeo FTW!
