I just measured them and its 15" and 18". I just went there and saw them there. but if you check the books they dont exsist for our cars. but they do fit and work perfectly. I got the measurements from the trico catalog. but for a couple of $ more I rather use bosch .

Those don't look like ICONs. Those look like regular Bosch blades.

To clairify- I have the over-the-counter Boschs on my 993. They do not fit as well as the Porsche ones supplied by Bosch. Notice how far the bigger wiper is from the windshield on the left in Atan's photos. The factory ones hug the windshield much better. There is a loss of about an inch and a half of sweep on the non-dealer ones.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I'm just sometimes unsure if online suppliers are selling Bosch blades correctly sized for the 993 or the OEM blades that were original to the 993 (Porsche ones supplied by Bosch). I'm assuming a place like Sunset would be selling the latter and would have Porsche packaging vs. Bosch?
