Deflectors?

I have seen alot of pictures on the forum but not many people have the BUG Deflector, sunroof, nor the window deflectors? WHY IS THAT?

The sunroof and window deflectors work awesome for those rainy days. What are others reasonings for not having this equipment?

Here are some reasons why people may tend to stay away from those products:

Bug Deflector - not everyone likes to stick/screw things to the hood; only comes in smoke color unless painted; sticks out, so it breaks the lines of the car

Sunroof Deflector - OEM one tends to crack; can scratch the paint underneath

Window Deflectors - like the bug deflector, it sticks out and breaks the lines of the car

I will agree on the first two points, however in the northeast its nice to be able to crack the windows from time to time and not deal with loud windnoise of getting wet. Here are the weathertech (sp?) window deflectors on my max w/ 35%

No kit on obiuosly, but this is the best picture I could grab to show the visors. They don't show up much at all. There are more pictures on page 4 of my cardomainn

Window deflectors probably was the best thing i ever bought. I hear they can crack easily in a car wash but whose gonna take there max to a brush carwash? MAXIMA ABUSERS! also the deflectors make my tints darker which i like a whole lot at night.

haha anyway, best $60 i spent on the maxima

also might arent smoked or clear at all, not sure which it is though... bought them so long ago. check the sig...
