Voted to take them off since you don't have a sunroof visor and you already have tint.

I voted to remove them, too. It's hard to have them look good on any light color, IMO.

remove them!


i hate the ones that stick on with tape on the outside. they have these cool one's that i might buy, that stick up in the window jam, and they look very clean. get those if you need them.

I voted to keep em on...they're handy as hell, especially in the winter. I would ad a sunroof visor and blackout the window trim just to make it look a little more even.

keep them but I would go with the inchannel vent's much cleaner and nicer, they don't Fu*k up you chrome tape on the outside and they don't cover anything. They do come in handy though, especially if you smoke you can always crack a window open or someone else could in the rain or snow. I saw keep it but change the vents to the inchannel you'll love those.

Whos selling the inchannel deflectors?

I couldnt find a member by the name TRIPSOL. I too think the inchannel visors look better. But both perform the same function. ONE is half the price of the other and you will not get scratching on your window from the tape visors. The other inchannel visors collect dust and everytime you roll the window up or down the window will get scratches in time. My Integra had me learn that lesson. So its ALL YOUR CHOICE!

The Weathertech ones are the only ones worth getting. I had the stick-on kind on my Jeep, and they sucked. Stuck out like a sore thumb, more wind noise, and just ugly. The Weathertech's were much more low profile, come in 2 shades, and don't damage your paint.

I've got the weathertechs and they are very sleek. If I would get off my azz and get some pics of them on my domain site you could see them. Those ones that stick on with tape don't look that good. My vote it to take them off.... then go with some weathertechs

Gimme those weathertechs, or else I'ma tell ma cousin to rip you off of that autostart instead of that good price I negotiated for you. He's giving you more discount than when I bought stuff from him LoL. Damn, I think I've been giving him decent business, so he's being nicer to ma friends now.

well first off...mine is pretty low in the back (system in trunk helps) plus my setup is three days old so it has lots of time left to settle and is a half inch above where it should be according to housecor's site and many people... plus you have progress springs in the front which is 1.7 rather than 1.4 which makes the difference you said...our rears look the same.

I tried putting them on my Sterling Mist and didn't like the exposed chrome trim. It made it look horrible so I took them off immediatly. They don't do a good job blocking rain. I'm a smoker and when I cracked my window to smoke the rain still got in.

I had the autoventshade ones on my car for almost 3 years and loved them but I never liked how they covered up the chrome trim. Last year I went ahead and bought the weathertechs. They were fine for the first few months but now 3 of them are loose and start to fall out of the channel? Anyone else have this problem? Both fronts and the driver side rear are so loose I cant even drive with windows down at speeds above like 20 or they begin to fall out. Anyone else have this problem?

I think they look ok but like other people said, it's up to you. I like mine and so I don't think I'll take them off.

these vent visor things sure work well keeping out the rain while having the windows slightly opened...i would wish i had them again right now cuz it's so hot parking outside i want to leave the window slightly open so it'll not get as hot inside =/ i bought the weathertech ones when i first got this car and i liked them. they did however made more wind noise tho =/ plus the auto up don't work sometimes cuz it'll hit the visor and window rolls back down haha and the rear windows are kinda annoying cuz when it closes it'll hit the visor and make a noise =( but i like how my car looks without the visors it's much cleaner and smooth looking
