Who has ever heard of "high-performance windshield wipers?"

I like the shape + the Logo. If they were piano black...maybe. Carbon fiber wipers? Nah, not for me...

Looks great, maybe a little 'ricer' too, but so what! Do they make an Icon style one? Functionally I prefer the frameless style ( Icon Wiper Blades ) to the articulated type you got, esp. in winter.

Trico makes some eccellent frameless wipers, cheaper than bosch's and lighter than OEM (lol!).

The ones posted in the OP are ugly and look as if they're made of fake CF... nice!

this is the type of modification that makes no sense to me.

Can you even call that a modification?

Autozone sells these blades in the ricer aisle. Try the PIAA Super Sporza if you want a "high performance" wiper blade. Their a silicone blade with a spoiler attached to keep them from rising at high speeds.

CF vinyl wrap is one thing, but the faux painted CF stuff is just plain nasty and makes all cars look cheap. Like GK1707 said, Autozone sells them.

However if you like that look, than do as you want. It's your car.
