Opinion wanted

Do you think my car would look better without the sunroof deflector. I took it off this weekend to clean under it and I got to thinking I liked it better without it. By the way. I seldom open my sunroof so the functionality part doesn't concern me. Just going on looks.

To be honest, I like it better with the sunroof deflector. I don't know why...it looks sleeker without it...but for some reason I like it.

That being said, I removed mine the 2nd day I had my car and would never even consider putting it back on. Not after seeing how much crud was under the lip after less than 40 miles and reading on the org what kind of damage they can do to the roof.

I took mine off also. I feel it looks much better! Also, if you do decide to use your sunroof it is much quieter WITHOUT the deflector on there. The little stock deflector that pops up when you open the sunroof works perfectly and I have always felt the only reason people have the huge ones are so that everyone knows you have a sunroof.

IMO take it off...and get ready to clean clean clean...

I know. I had it off Sunday when I cleaned it up. I had to use polishing compound to get the black marks off the roof. It was nasty under there.

I've always liked the look - I vote keep it...but I'm guessing you're going to get a 50/50 split of opinions.

Also, this was a perfect opportunity to use poll functionality!
