... NOT lights... wipers! anyone seen these? i like the carbon fiber ones, they would go really well with one of Jason B's carbon fiber dash kits, pedals, and shift knob i think.
possibly another cheap + nice looking mod...

here is a pic, and the link.

Yeah, I've been runnig them for about a year now. They are great. I could use a new set though - they get plenty of use here in the NW. I have the carbon fiber ones. I hope to find some refills soon.

 

i've seen um at the local speed shop downtown...don't know if they have the one to fit the 4runner, never really thought about it.kinda expensive i think

 

Yeah I just got mine from PP a few days ago, it had been raining all week and as soon as I got them it stoped and hasn't rained since, the one time I actually want it to it doesn't, go figure. So I'm looking forward to some of the wet days ahead wanting to see the PIAA difference.
Hey Gene do you run a PIAA blade on the rear wiper as well? I got the smallest one they make(15") and I can't figure out how to make it work on the back set-up w/ the rest bar, help me out if you can b4 I have to send it back.

 

No, I didn't get anything for the rear. I got mine directly from PIAA (at no cost) before they hit the market with them. They wanted me to check them out and offer feedback. At that time, and I guess it is still the case, they did not have anything for the rear. I would be interested in some for the rear as I prefer to have a match set all the way around.

 

Performance Products' website shows a 17" blade. Are both blades 17" for the 4Runner? I am also wondering if the carbon fiber will look weird since I don't have anything else carbon fiber on the truck. My color is Thunder Cloud, so maybe the carbon fiber would go nice.

Any ideas?

 

I dunno I'm running the 16" blades myself, that is what the guy at PP pulled up as my size for a 96', can't imagine they chaged the size by one inch for a 2K2. I would say stick w/ the black, I dunno I'm just kinda partial to the stock crisp clean look, I have never really been a big fan of carbon fiber in the first place, okay I'm gona shut up now b4 I loose friends over talking anti carbon fiber.

 

i like carbon fiber, but its not for everyone. i dont have a lot of it on my truck, just a shift knob, which i acually switched off after a couple of days for my skull shifter.

how much are these wipers, about?

 

I think the going price is about $17 per blade. Also, both PP's website and Tire Rack's site seem to be selling 17" for my 2002 4Runner.
