Has anyone bought a wind deflector for our sunroof? If so I was wondering if anyone could post pictures of it.

My only concern is that I didn't want it to make the car look ugly..... :D

I don't think you really need it as I feel no wind buffeting with it wide open going fast. IMO sunroof deflectors are ugly. The sunroof is well designed to not need an additional deflector on this car. You'll notice a small built-in deflector by the way when it is open.

I'm still not sure if I like it or not. The car came with it from the factory. The thing that pisses me off is that on the highway it creates this real low sound from the wind, but without it, it makes that noise at low speeds, especially with the windows up.

Oh dear

Well, IMO, there are three words to describe the wind deflector:

1. Uh
2. Uh
3. Uh
4. GLEE!

:D

Yah, I would rip that off. It looks like a 98 Camry with that puppy on there. Honestly, if you buy that thing, you ought to get a free bowl of soup! But it looks good on you, though.

LOL :lol:

I think the deflector looks real snazzy! It matches my bug deflector on the hood and the tinted window deflectors on the driver's and passenger's windows.

Now if I can just get the naked girl mud flaps to fit on the rear tirewells, my accessory package would be complete.

(For those who don't read sarcasm - ditch the plastic deflectors and enjoy the fresh air. If you get a buffeting sound from the sunroof, just crack your side windows enough to equalize the air pressure. It will go away.)

I took it off. I really didn't mind how it looked, it's pretty low profile, but it looks WAY better with it off. Pics to come soon.
