Looking for those interested in some PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blade sets for their IS/Altezza.

Mine wiper arms are starting to deteriorate (fade), and the blades are due for replacement soon. The PIAA wiper sets come with silicon blades and a silicon solution similar i imagine to RainX which decreases the porosity of your screen and improves water runoff. And they don't look to bad either. I have done some searching and found a decent group buy on 5 sets. Standard price is around A$125.00 shipped from the US or UK, on 5 sets price shipped to Sydney will be $95.00 each. For club members not in Sydney, the club can absorb some shipping cost to your address. For New Zealand members, if there is enough interest, we might look at shipping directly to New Zealand.
Some of the UK forum members have installed them, which is where i first heard about them, and they report that they not only reduce/eliminate streaking, but they also run completely silently with no squeaking. I haven't had this problem, but you do get it with inferior blades.

Here's a pic - they come in either a flat black or carbon fibre finish:

So - anyone interested?

On mine it's the actual arm, and not the blade holder, that's starting to deteriorate. That said, put me down as one of the potential NZ interests in this. We'll see if there are enough of us to justify an order for here...

Any of you nz'ers that want it will have to pay the A$95 + $15 for shipping over to nz, because there isnt enough to make it viable to send over there from US.

I guess Paypal would be easiest, a TT could be sorted but you get charged ludicrous amounts in fees. Remember you paypal'ers to send an extra 4% to cover all the annoying little fees.

Any of you guys that do order them though dont forget to tell us your preference of either Black or Carbon :)


I guess im off to the casino tonigh!

:lol: can have the money maybe as quick as tomorrow..or might take a little bit longer lol.

Indeed,so far Brian, Ben and myself have paid. I need two more payments (Brett, Joe, Z3ak??). I would like to close this off at the end of the week.

NZers, i should have word by then if we can send some to NZ also.

THIS WEEK PLEASE! PM me if you are unsure of payment details.

This seems to have fallen off the radar..

It's raining today, and man, I need new wiper blades....

If it ain't gonna happen, can I get my money back so I can go and buy some wiper blades?
