check the wind deflector thread.

-I like being able to open the windows in a parking lot, and the car is at least 20 degrees cooler when I get in.

install was not painless. and there is some added skills to get the windows up... but over time, the rubber deformed to allow about 96% perfect operation. left rear still giving me trouble.

widows up, no change in noise at 70-80mph

Front bumper getting repaired from road hash, blending the hood to make the color match. Also repaired the side skirts since it was damaged form driving lowered over a speed bump. This time I'll be getting paint protection film done by my buddy for a faction of the cost at the dealership and it'll cover more area and the entire hood.
