Wiper blades - who has good quality silver ones.
OK - Where is a guy supposed to get wiper blades that are not black and modern looking...?

Just get refills rather than the whole blade assembly. I think local parts stores (and manufacturers) went away from them because 90 percent of folks had little to no clue how to replace then with refills.
TRICO refills are available at Amazon.

The original one are long gone so that isn't an option...

I have the Duralast winter blades on all three of our vehicles and have been pretty happy with them. May not be the look you want, though.

I don't know where you'd get the silver OEM style anymore.

Trico still makes them. Got a replacement on Amazon, and it looks the same as the original -- with the exception that "Trico" is not visible on the new one, for some reason.DuckRyder wrote:OK - Where is a guy supposed to get wiper blades that are not black and modern looking...?

+1 on O'Reilly's. They look and fit perfect. They keep them in the back for some reason, so you have to ask for them at the counter. Napa also carries them, but the last set of those I had I couldn't get to hug the windshield properly. There always seemed to be a high spot that didn't get wiped. I didn't have that problem with the O'Reilly ones.

Re: Wiper blades - who has good quality silver ones.
I just bought some silver vintage wiper blades today from NAPA for $20 a pair. NP 60-1537.
The thing I like best about them is if I don't like the look when I install them I can slide the wiper out and install in the original blade
My truck's been off the for about 9 years and never thought about this until you asked about it. Thought I would give NAPA a try when I was there and glad I did.
The only down fall is there made across the pacific.
