Looks like they are having the buy one get one free deal now, which seems to be the norm, on certain model lines. I tried pulling up the ones for our G's there but didnt seem like they had a price for them, either they dont have them, or they dont know size or other problem with the site. If anyone is still interested I would say call them, they always have friendly service.

x2 on the Valeo blades. I put them on my WRX beater and they are BEAUTIFUL. Never skipping, wipes super clean. I also got the B1G1 from tirerack.com

Ditto on the Bosch Icon. Had them on my TL and they were great. When I replace the blades on my '08 G35x I will be getting the Bosch again. Got the last set on Amazon at a good price (can't remember right off the top of my head).

the piaa sporanzas are the ones i will go back to once my oem ones crap out. ive always used piaa and love them. If your not in a snowy area you dont need the sporanzas bc they have a shield over the blade. any of the piaa silicone wipers will do.

I don't have a G yet, but I use RainX Latitude blades on my RSX and LOVE them. I put them on my girlfriend's car and parent's cars, they all love them too.

On Tirerack, Valeo's show up for 2007 G35 Sedan....hmmm...

Anyone here actually have the Valeo's installed for their 07+ G sedan?

They might have the years and generations mixed up because when I look for the 08, nothing comes up.

Yeah, many websites seem to confuse the 07 G35 sedan and the previous ones. If the G37 sedan was introduced in 07, then we wouldn't have this problem!

rainX your windshield and then buy some RainX Latitude blades, you will be very pleased. But just about any blade will work great if your windshield is RainXed, just do that whenever you wash your car, takes 5 minutes.
