they are good but I'm not sure they are worth the $$$$

I've only had them on a month ... and like any brand new wiper they're always and improvement over the old ones
I'll let you know in 6 months whether they're still good

I've had em in for about a month and no problems so far... they're ok for the $ ... they're nothing compared to my PIAA blades though.. but those are like 3X more expensive...

I think not having the frame would look cleaner.
However the teflon ones work good enough for me.

I put the reflex blades on today. So far so good.
I loved my teflon blades that I had before these, but it was time to change them so I tried something new.

ya, I have decided that I will never buy the cheap wipers from crappy tire again, complete garbage, they last for about 3 weeks then start to suck, maybe I should try these reflex (or even the teflon)...

First I've heard. You know you gotta replace blades after a while right? lol

I had 2 sets (6 months apart) on the Civic and still on the first set on the lude.

My $5.99 motomaster blades work fine. Not the best but they get the job done. My car is usally parked in my garage so nothing freezes and 30 mins before I leave work I park my car in the shop so everything melts and warms up.

I was looking into these too.. BUT crappy tire by my house is sold out of the 21" and 19" sizes that i need for my car.. 2002... BUT apperently the Si civics use a 24" and a 19" blade???

WHY the difference... exact same car sooo y change the blade size????

Those sizes came from the Reflex blade Size book at crappy tire...

OH and for "2000SE" how have they preformed in the winter Snowy, icey weather??? For example likt tonights weather on Wednesday Dec. 22?

Just for an example case....

OEM blades are the best

Think of how long the originals lasted you
