Default Need New Wiper Blades

Anyone know where I can buy wiper blade inserts for the lowest price possible? I have 08 IS350.

The dealer charges $13 and $8 for driver and passenger side. Althought it's only 23 bucks after taxes, which seems pretty cheap on the grand scheme of things, but I cant stand getting ripped off when other auto stores are selling wiper blade refills for like 2 or 3 bucks each.

what's wrong with the ones you have?

wiper blades last years if you clean your windshield and wiper blade inserts with windex and a bunch of paper towels

I paid over $20 each just for the inserts at my dealer.

if that was directed at me, then with fedex shipping i still come out on top getting them from my local dealer, but that's the way things go out here.

Thanks for the website link! a lot of great stuff on there! at really good prices!

how were u able to get to the wiper insert page? I couldn't find it anywhere. searching wouldn't even bring it up. I searched under name and part number. I was trying to bring up the driver side also.
