If anyones intrested in buying new wiper blades

Wouldn't want anyone to pass this up as theres the BOSCH Evolution bracketless wiper blades for sale at Amazon. If u buy one pair you get the second free after mail in rebate. Shipping for these items are also free. Sizes for the RX8 are 4820 (Driver side) 4818 (Passenger side). But if u want them for any other vehicle, check out the part finder here.
Offers good between April 15 2008-May 31 2008. I never used used them but iv heard that they work great.


deal courtesy of slickdeals

The amazon link has a referal code in the url so yes, you are making money on this.

i dont know anything about a referal code but i can assure u im not making any money off this. at the bottom of the picture it sais courtesy of slickdeals.net where i found the deal so i dont get credit for finding this deal rather spreading the news so others could take advantage but im in no means making any money nore was i planning to make money posting this up.

Edit* I see where it shows a referral and removed that part of it so its a direct link. Sorry for any misunderstandings.

Wiper blades are on sale most of the time at most retail outlets, ie buy 1 get 1 free. I guess they are kind of like furniture stores, that always advertise they're going out of business and need total liquidation immediately.

I bought the midlevel Bosch for my Sentra and they work fine, but are traditional design. Wonder if anyone has used these on the 8.

I have em, work pretty good.

I think mine are worn out, but they look way better than regular blades.

They're magical as well. If you buy a pair it will never actually rain when you're driving, even in Springtime when it had rained for days straight prior to getting them...

i dunno if there using the same formula but i used rain-x in the past and it worked great untill it wore off where i would get these rainbow streaks as the wipers were in use. This was a while ago so as i said... not sure if they changed up or not but it left a bad impression on me where i havent purchased them since. Do u get this problem if u dont reapply it?

Bought two pairs: one for my 8, one for my Sentra. They arrived one in each big box from the same shipping location. What a waste of boxes, paper, shipping, etc. All four could have fit one box and I used super saver free shipping.
