[s-cars] Wiper blade possibility

[matt ludwig.]

because i actually do care about this and i can take the heat Levent  
can dish out ; ) - does anyone know where these are on special right  
now? i saw them in a VIP Auto Parts and they looked really nice and  
very similar to the Valeo's everyone raves about.

just thought if someone could point me to it, i would appreciate it.
