I am very disappointed
I am very disappointed, your picture shows silver colored wiper blades, but your product is BLACK! Guess it's screw the dumb shit because the customer is supposed to know the "B" at the end of the part number means black, even though the picture is silver!! I feel very screwed over 👎
