put on some of those crazy expensive, yet awesome rain guards.
the packaging and instructions are all in japanese i presume, or at least some language other than english. installation was very easy, spent about 5 minutes putting little clamps to hold pressure to the strips to help promote better adhesion, left that got for like 20 minutes then. wind noise was reduced a good deal i noticed... i still hear my tires loud n clear =/ but i now listen to my radio at level 3 instead of 5 when on the highway =) now im actually waiting for a rainy day to drive the car! and for the pics:   and to show approx how much i estimate the window can be opened, and also from seeing other cars with them on, to actually show those how much it can be opened, approx .75 inches  and up close

I would like having that as well... but price is too high and because it's damn fragile I do not trust e-bay for this

i dont smoke... these came brand new, and i figured if im gonna pay money might as well get new ones instead of used ones, or ones that come damaged from shipping
culpable is a great guy =) they are very useful - even if its not raining, can crack windows a bit on a sunny but cool day (like how it is lately around here) have the heat on low, the windows cracked, SOME fresh air gets in, but not alot so the car stays warm =) i recommend them  would deff get them again!

ok..next paycheck, im gettin me a set of these. Ive been considering them for awhile. I got an issue with my rear window foggin up thanks to my crappy sunroof. The aftermarket sunroof i got in my car doesnt have one of thouse covers, so the glass is always showing, and because its just glass, my car gets fogged up really easily, and i usually gotta crack the windows open, but usually when its like that, its usually pissing rain.
