I put on the PIAA wipers which i've had on for 9 months and they were used on my LS430.

they are by far the best wiper with consistent dry non-streak wiping. they are a pretty penny though, but i would swear by them.

They all sell what's called the "Sporza" model which has an aerodynamic wing on the back to prevent lift, but i've never had lift problems (better for an SUV no doubt) and i'm not sure that it would even clear the gap at the hood opening.

The OEM wipers seem to work best on this car.

I have found that true wih all cars produced in the last 10 years or so. Only OEM for me, as anything else seems to skip, chatter, and not work properly....including so-called premium brands like Bosch or PIAA.

for example, on my previous 7 series, I purchased a set of BOSCH Icon wipers (same brand as OEM). Two weeks in, they began to chatter and skip. I went to my dealer who installed OEM blades (also Bosch). They worked flawlessly for over a year. The dealer explained that they see the issue all the time. Same with my previous Acura.
