Here's my full sized one:



IMO, the full sized ones look better on dark colors. You have a white car and are going to paint it, so I'd say get the half sized one.

I would say don't do it at all, but if you have to, get the half-sized.

what is it for?

What is that rear window spoiler for anyway? Looks good, but does it do anything better than just looks.

Looks like another sunroof deflector (something that isn't really needed and ugly, at that).

Half is nice and subtle... then follow it up with an A-Pod for the "look"

i've been debating whether or not to get one forever -- i'd say if you do it, go with the 1/2 size Paradox Systems...

I myself am considering getting one to complete the look of my wind deflector on my sunroof, even though I want to remove that too. I just can't stand displaying those ugly @$$ scratches on the roof. DAM u wind deflector!
