These are deff. a nice pair of blades as I have had these on for almost a year now and even though I'm in Phoenix(for now) and we just finished up around 140 days without rain, it has been raining here and there for the past couple weeks... The Valeos perform like the day I bought them, they were a little more expensive when I first got them, But if I'm not mistaken their prices are fairly similar to everything else out there now....
I highly recommend these for anyone who hates the problems assoc. with metal frame wiper blades..
yep, just checked tirerack and they are the second cheapest pair, and highest qaulity IMHO clicky fo' linky
Gonna order some. I'm a sucker for new designs...
Thanks everyone.

If you are seriously thinking of ordering the Valeo's, Amazon.com has them for $18.50 each. True, only a $1.50 cheaper than Tirerack, but think free shipping on order of $25 or more, thats 2 blades shipped free. Just search valeo and the size you need, i.e. "Valeo 21" and then in the cart, it recommended the otehr size I needed!  Like it knew me, creepy!  Of course, I threw in a set for the truck too, so I am way over free shipping, but what the heck, it's only money right?

Thanks everyone.
I bought a pair for my Mystique. They're in the category "greatest thing since sliced bread". They won't skip, hop or jump at most speeds. And they're very good in the winter time.

You say rain like its a bad thing? You just bought new wiper blades, what better way to try them out? 
I ordered mine on Tuesday too, signed up for a trial membership in Amazon Prime, and got free 2-day shipping. Get this, I order a total of 5 items: 4 wiper blades (2x18", 1x20" & 1x21") and a book. They shipped ALL 5 ITEMS IN SEPARATE BOXES! From the same location! I took some pics, b/c they were not small boxes either. I am talking huge boxes for 1 wiper blade. I think I am going to send a friendly e-mail to amazon with pics, as an FYI. Working in a shipping facility for 8 years, I think this is a bit wasteful.
I got mine installed and took a few pics since the camera was out anyway:
The boxes they came in: Remember 1 wiper per box

It was kinda dark in my garage, so I had to lighten with PS, so they aren't the greatest, but they get the job done!
