Or, just get one of the numerous brands of bracketless wipers on the market? They even have the right sizes.

except with these you can walk into any Honda dealer in the nation and buy replacement wiper refills/inserts for about 7-11 bucks each. Saves quite a bit of money in the long run vs replacing the entire blade each and every time.

Who needs wiper blades when you don't drive in the rain!

It looks good. I'm considering doing it myself since I need to change mine real soon. Just out of curiosity, what made you decide to use the 2011 Accord wiper blades?

because they look awesome, and since I work at Honda it was an easy choice.

I had the rainX bracketless blades, but the sun faded them pretty bad and the blade looked like shit after a few months.

Are the 2011 coupe passenger side wipers the same size for both the s2k driver and passenger as far as how long they are? Or they different sized but they fit.

normally the S2k wipers are different sizes R & L. But I found that the Accord/CRV 475mm wiper will actually work quite well on both sides for the S2k. One side ends up being slightly longer and the other ends up being slightly shorter.

Do you happen to know the size for the s2k on drive and passenger compared to the 475mm of the accord passenger side?

So you don't have any issues for the wiper blade on the longer side hitting the windshield frame above when it wipes upward?

I might end up doing this if theirs no BIG difference as far as how they wipe in the rain or they dont hit anything when in movement.
