Do you have the stock ones on their now? just go to the dealer and buy inserts, its cheaper than buying a whole new blade. The inserts are around $5-6?each and they will probably install them for free

FAIL THREAD
Just go buy inserts, or go to Costco in the states and buy the Good Year ones. I know you don't want it to look different from stock but those are pretty good and cheap blades

Go get those PIAA silicone ones. Lordco, NAPA and some local vendors here on RS carry them.

Order them online from the states if you really want to stick to OEM.

Like everyone mentioned, try the dealer inserts. Cheap and easy to install.
If the 06 TL's are like the TSX's, they probably have the frameless/beam blades. (if you're going for the same look). The Bosch Icons are pretty highly rated (but pricey). I've recently started using the Michelin Stealth blades (they're a hybrid frameless blade) that are pretty decent and only around $12 each at Costco.

oem inserts are like $6 .. if they are already 3 times the price the aftermarket you found, so your is like $2 each?
