Wiper Connection Type? Help Me Look For Nice Wipers Please

I haven't been able to find a thread that talks about this yet. Everyone talks about wiper sizes but I want to know what type of connection does the civics use on thier wipers because i know the connection type varies.

Also I am looking to get some new wipers because I broke mine the other day when i decided to moisten a peice of paper towel with Windex and wipe the blades with them. The whole blade is so stiff now that it doesnt work.

I dont really want inserts because I was planning on getting some White blades to match my car anyways.

So far I like the blades that this guy sells since it comes in so many different colors and sizes.

eBay Motors: Ultra Silblade Silicone Wiper 17" Carbon Fiber White (item 260232635066 end time Aug-19-08 06:58:28 PDT)

What do you guys think? Will these fit? the guy doenst know what connector type they are but he told me that it comes with universal attachments.

Looks like they only make them for the sedan for 8th gens. Check Silblade.com for more info on those but nothing after 2005 for the coupe. Unless the RSX ones will work for us who knows.

Word. Some CF wipers would be cool for my coupe. Or just some fiji ones would be nice too.

the sedan blade and the coupe are the SAME...

NO other Honda/Acura blade works on the civics... the civics have the longest blade of any honda/acura vehicle

isn't because our cars have the steepest angled windshield....alot of people like my wipers....so i guess no one knows the size/style of our wipers?

the degree of the windshield just adds to the length of the glass... which is why our blades are 27" or so (can't remember exactly only changed mine once)
