Poll:4th Genners with sunroofs, Do you rock the sun/wind deflector or not?

Topic title... DO you rock with it on or off? I wanna kinda take mine off to see how it looks, but, will it get loud without it on the highway with the sunroof open? And Rain will get in much easier me thinks without it.

I like it without...besides there is a retractable reflector that does the job.

My car came with it and I basically would rather look at the visor rather than the line of scratches underneath it. If I were to buy a new car, I would request to have no visor.

i think the visor looks great... but i also have tinted windows and a cf hood, so it matches all that, plus it goes nice w/ a spoiler... imo, it makes the line of the car more complete

I voted for no reflector... but im leaning towards it because riding w/the sunroof open is sooooo loud!!! Even if it looks dressed up too much... it may be a worthy addition.

The mud flaps may make it look more complete.

Mine was on when I bought the car, and I really didn't wanna risk scratches from taking it off anyways.

I had one stock, but got rid of it. Admittedly, it was useful. You could keep the sunroof open in the rain pretty much, but it didn't make it any quieter, IMO. I also like how it looks better without it.

Not crazy about them. They don't quiet the wind much and I think they just look grandma-ish. They're alright on certain cars...99BlackMaxMS for example. But for mostly stock cars, I think it looks goofy, especially without a spoiler.

I think sunroof deflectors look horrible.

I'd take a few scratches/marks anyday of the week over having that lame piece of crap on my roof.

I had one and personally didn't like it too much. Throws off the car's sleek attributes...

IMO I have one for sale if anyone's interested!!

I have a sunroof but no deflector. Car didn't come with one, never felt a need to install one. The sunroof broke about 2 years ago, so it no longer opens, so there isn't any wind noise or rain to worry about lol.

That's no wind deflector, that's a straight up roof rack!

If having no deflector is too noisy, just turn up the volume. That does the trick for me. But I honestly never use the sunroof. It doesn't let enough air in to do anything <-- and I don't have a deflector. I figure there would be zero air coming through with the deflector.
