it looks aight..just not worth the $120 regular price OR the $95 GD price, IMO...all it is is a huge ventshade for your windshield that does nothing for the car

The thing is these aren't made in the US. Their imported so that's why it's a lil pricey...

i think it looks ok.. but i wouldnt invest in it... i'd rather spend the money on something else...
my freind has it on his , all it does it provides just a little more shade in the back.

I wouldn't spend $$ on something that doesn't do something except make the car look good. But I would spend it on detailing equipment.

its nice looking, don't get us wrong Erik, but by the time u buy the thing, then paint it, you're looking at $200 for a ventshade!

It's just not worth it...

Juice is your vent shade the half or the full? I love the ventshade available on the BMW 740 it doesn't sit out as much I'm hoping the half ventshade available for the Maxima is more like the BMW one. To me the closer to the body the sade is the better it will look!

1. Does nothing.
2. Costs too much money.
3. Does not improve appearance of car.

I wanna start an ABS plastic company and just start making BS parts for peoples' cars. "Look, now you can have spoilers for your headlights! Only $99, while supplies last! Available next week, tailamp spoilers for $150, what a steal!"

IMO the backglass spoiler looks good only if you have a body kit.

Easy answer to both window spoilers and body kits - people put them on their cars to increase the rice factor. Both are IMO.
