Those are pretty nice. Not to big like the vent shade ones. Any whistles?

Not that I can tell so far but I've only driven it once since I've installed them.

My money is on the WRX getting the C-130 off the line
Nice pics, they look good.

Let us know about the whistling, price, and where you got them, plus how hard to instal.

Thanks

Got these things at SubyDude, they were a bit pricey ($220) but I wanted them.

They aren't completely solid black but not as transparent as weathertech ones.

No signs of whistling noise yet.

I doubt the C-130 could take me since it is bolted to the ground.

Well that's not fair.....

Forget what show it was but a Viper raced and F-16. Viper got the 1/8th mile, but the F-16 (BARELY) got the 1/4.

we used to do group buys on the wind visors on socal iclub. the visors are transparent and the install is a snap, you have to pull the weatherstripping down and undo some bolts and reattach with provide clips. we've had these on for over a year now and the work great, no whistles even at "high speeds".
