Default Window wind visors

Does adding window wind visors reduce wind noise, especially on the highway? Those of you that have added window wind visors have you noticed a difference in wind noise reduction?

No it actually makes more noise on the highway. But city driving makes no difference. It is very negligeable. I mainly bought these for the summer time here in TX as I like to crack the windows so its not burning hot in the car.

I would think it would make more noise since they are sticking to the car and jet out about and inch, can't be that aero dynamic! Wind will make noise off of them.

Default Wind visors/rain guards?

I haven't noticed a reduction or increase in noise due to the visors! They are very sleek and add a nice side appearance to the ride!

they are nice for being able to let fresh air in when driving in the rain, for one.

Next to no noticable increase in noise, since they flow with the lines of the vehicle.

I get compliments on the wind visors the most out of any mod i have. Adds a very unique look to the 2ndGS. Allows a good about of air into, without air blowing all over your face. Moreover, it allows you ample air when raining, and if your a smoker, allows you to ash outside with the ash flying all over your interior, and allows you to smoke in the rain...

I don't like the look of them on stock cars. They blend in well on modded cars with tinted windows. I am thinking about purchasing them for the functionality of it. For me personally, when it is raining and the windows and windshield are fogging up, I like to "defrost" by rolling down the window a tad and letting some fresh air in. Of course a bit of rain gets in.

I picked mine up from Luis for a little less than $120.00. Comes with double sided tape already on it, ready to peel and install. Shipped, I have no clue.

They are bout $140 shipped. I checked a couple of weeks ago, and definitely recommend getting them from Carson. Buddy of mine got em and they look good. I'm getting them soon.
