The place is Hotspot Auto parts( www. HotspotAutoparts.com)
I went to a larger size for the driver side(24") and a smaller size for the passenger side(17")
The part #'s are BSH 417A for the 17" blade ( $22.20)
BSH 424A for the 24" blade ( $28.50)

fyi: the proper blade size for the coupe is actually 24"/17" like stated above. i don't know why we were sold 22"/18" before. these blades fit perfect... no bending required for the passenger side. although i did get the 417b blade.

yes, this is an OLD thread.
I had my car since June 2007 and now the passenger wiper is ripped and is about to come off.
Talk about crappy OEM wipers from Infiniti. I didn't expect the wiper to go out so fast. Considered I didn't even have the car for more than 1 year.
Sometime I think Infiniti is not up there with other luxury brand name cars, which made me feel sad. I love the car but the quality parts are not as good as they should be.
Good thing I got new wipers when I ordered winter tires from Tire Racks.

Just got a set of Valeos from Tirerack, buy 1 get 1 free sale going on right now.
Around $40 shipped to me no custom charges.
I got a set of Icons from Hotspots in Toronto last year for my car around $60.

are u saying it's $66.52 plus $42 of shipping on top? or that the total is $66.52 and the shipping portion is $42 ? in any case.. no way in hell it is $42 in shipping for 2 blades.

cambodian tire does not carry either of these blades, just their usual crap. in BC i go to Lordco for Icons - an awesome wiper blade. i highly recommend them. i pay ~$18/wiper which is a lot, but the difference is well worth it.
phone around a few import repair/parts shops in your area if you don't have Lordco. someone in Saskabush must carry Icons. i believe the only way to get Valeos is online from the U.S. do not pay $66 for a set of wiper blades, that's crazy.

Call or Email Rick at Aero Car Parts. I got my Icons from him, amazing deal and a very nice guy to deal with. Mention you're from G35Driver and you'll get a discount. Thanks to Gordgee for setting up this deal!

Thought you all might like to know.
Princess Auto has a pretty good copy of the original Valeos for $8.99 on sale right now! Got a set for my F-I-L, and a spare for myself.
