Red face HELP: Windshield Wipers?

I have a 2006 G35 Coupe and it looks like I need new wipers. Can I just buy them at my local Pep Boys? If so, what do you guys recommend? What are the measurements needed for a 2006 G35 Coupe?

EDIT: I'm guessing I just need the wiper "blade" refills...

Thanks!

Sometimes it costs nearly as much for the refill as getting a new blade. I prefer the Bosch Ico blades. They don't need the support arm like standard blades need. They snap right on to the arm for the G too!

Get Bosch Icons. I got them at my local Oreilly. Just ask them for your size.

I got the Michelin wipers from walmart and I like them. I got them for 13 bucks after rebate. They are a knock off of the expensive rain-x beam-type wiper. I'd get the next size smaller per recommended size if I got them again though.

About $20 per blade. But that's not just a refill. It's the complete attachment to your wiper arm.

This might be to late but I recomend the rain-x Latitudes they are by far the best blades I have ever used the are about 20 dollars a pop. Pepboys sell them just tell them what kind of car u have and they will give you your size
