Sorry for the bad pics, it was cloudy and rainy out.

The driver's side deflector is a little off, I think it just needs to be reseated or broken in more, the window hit it going up for the first few days. Doesn't do that any more, but it still clicks a little when getting past the deflector edge.

You can barely notice them from inside, they intrude maybe an inch into your view. I wouldn't worry about them blocking your view at all, even with dark window tints. Dark was definitely the way to go, the little side windows have a dark edged border on the inside and the fronts don't, so the deflectors make the side windows blend together much nicer IMHO.

Check Weathertech's site for a local dealer. I bought mine from a shop about 20 minutes from here, he didn't have them in stock but got them for me delivered the next day. Price was the same as online and it's always good to support the local shops.

I can't recommend these. They kept coming loose in the middle, and eventually, one went flying off on the highway, so I pulled the other out before it did the same thing. Maybe if they were glued in place with some silicone or something, but installed per the Weathertech instructions, they just didn't stay put.

Too bad, they looked sweet.

Definitely dark. Especially if you are going to tint your windows.
