Default Wind Deflector/ Rain Guard

I've posted this in Car chat forum, but didn't get any feedback, so I post it here.
I was windering that any body has used weathertech windows deflector? or any other brand for that matter, if so could you please post a picture of your car with it?
I saw a picture in their website, but I need a picture in day light to see how dark it looks.
Also do you recommend external or internal window deflector?

This is how it looks in their website, and considering that I have hood and sunroof kind of dark smoke deflector, it wouldn't match.

Get the weathertechs they are great. I have them on mine and got them painted black like my lx470 for little cost but they look really slick after being painted. If you have a black truck or dark tinted windows i would either get them painted or try their new "Dark" weatherflectors. The fit is great and they are a really well made product.

I just checked their web site, and they still don't have new model for my truck, could you please let me know how you got them painted?
I have tints windows, dark smoke hood gaurd, and sunroof deflector, so it'd be nice if I could get them darker.
thanks

I do not have the bug shield but i have the lexus moonroof deflector and it is painted. The hood deflector is easily paintable though. Just take all of them to a body shop and have them paint the inside to match your vehicle or black in my case or if you want to match you tint. When i say inside i mean the side that will recieve the least amout of exposure. Make sure that all stickers are removed (wind deflectors all have small ones) and that they are prepped and clearcoated and they will look great and last a long time. Mine look brand new and i have had the painted for almost three years now. Your total paint cost should be under $100.
