Default Weathertech Side Window Deflectors: Dark or Light?

Not sure which will look better - light or dark. Car is 2006 3LT, I think the paint color is called dark grey metallic. No tint on the glass (yet).

Opinions?

Depends on the rest of your trim/colors on the car. I went with black as the accent on my car so would go with dark. Had I gone with chrome or white accents I'd go with the lighter one.

Doesn't matter either way because those things drive me nuts.

Are you getting in channel or tape on? My dad's are in channel and I like them a lot better than the tape on ones I have.. may switch mine out sometime.

If you plan on tinting your windows I'd go with the dark ones because they'll blend in better.

I think dark would look better.

I have the stick on ones too, but I like the look of the in channel ones way better. Unfortunately I don't think they make the in channel ones for 5th gens.

I just bought a set, but I got the light ones. I have tinted windows but I can barely see out of them at night now. I got the light ones so it hopefully wouldn't block out even more.
