Looks good guys...Mine should be coming today. They got back me fairly quickly saying they had been drop shipped from EGR...I checked and they are coming from California

In any event, ordered on the 5th and getting them on the 16th so a little bit of a wait....hoping the install is as easy as you guys say it is...I have a way screwing up the simple stuff lol

nope lol!


Ok...put these on when I got home...VERY simple and easy to do...popped right in...however I'm not crazy about the sound it makes when putting the window up...really sounds like it is straining to close at the top...is there any documented cases of window seals "loosing up" over time and more wind noise, leaks etc if you decide to get rid of the vents?


Another friggin bummer is the drivers side rear vent is broken and I didn't notice until I installed the other 3...I called Styling and they apologized and said they would have EGR drop ship me a new one...said I should have it in a week...So here I am, going to be driving around with 3 vent shades for a week..dee dee dee....that is unless of course they are totally backordered as FW said and it takes a month or more to get a replacement...that will be sort of a bummer

You can see a little bit of tape on the rear on but nothing horrible...for 38 bucks it is worth a try..I'm just hoping it doesn't stretch out the window channel and make for a loose fit if I dump them down the road sometime.....man do they attract pollen!!

On the tape....start with a razor knife and finish with a fingernail....worked for me.

Here are some pics on how they look on my car...I gotta say, the jury is still out on these...I think they dramatically cut down on you vision looking outside of an already undersized window. I'm having a bit of hard time adjusting to seeing things off to my left..maybe it takes some getting used to but I'm 50/50 on keeping these on...the Weather techs don't seem as dark or create as much a a blind area..can anyone else confirm this?? Anyways here are some pics of the exterior (on the side that I have both on since my back drivers arrived busted )

I will say that I did enjoy having the windows part way down during a torrential T-storm downpour today...that was nice...but the vision thing and the windows sounding knarly when they are closing has me a bit apprehensive right now

That Teal sure is a eye catcher.....saw one today for the first time...

I figure to give my visors a few weeks to see if I adjust. They look cool
and the wife really likes them, but she rarely drives the HHR....

I'm still undecided if I'm going to keep them in...I am adjusting a bit though so we will see...still waiting for the drivers side rear vent


Not too many other towns have teams that are at the top or near the top of the standings every year....between the Sox, Celts and Patriots...we are pretty much as close to title town than any other city

While it's not EVERY year... we did just fine with the Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers for the past 4 or 5 years.
