I posted up a thread roughyl a year or so about getting ehese. Basically they are good if you smoke or it rains a lot, itll help a bit, but as far as looks, id stay away from it.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

got these things years ago and then realized how the hell em i going to open my window... Only way to install these things is place them higher then your glass window.. So on a black car it would look all right but on my silver car not so good.

exactly!
installing these high enough not to interfere with the door action defeats the purpose of having them!

I'm not sure if you have it, but if you have a sunroof, you can leave it in the tilt position when the car is in motion (aerodynamics and a drainage system keeps it out of the car), or keep the defroster on REALLY low, like on 78 (auto climate)/ roughly past 3/4 temperature (manual knob) on the lowest fan speed.
