imo the GS looks awkward with sunvisors. If it is something thats a must then go for it but if its just for looks i would skip it. and go with a bike rack instead.

i had the old school ones with the double flap vents when i first had the car and took that sucker off asap. the 2 vents made more noise than anything else on the car when the roof was opened.

These look horrible... unless you have a double decker wing and bondo covering more then 45% of your car surface I would stay away from this.

Nope, and I would never get one. However I do need to replace my factory wind deflector after the black plastic hinge on the right side broke. It makes a terrible wind vibration noise when I open my sunroof now!

dont u just hate that noise...i bought my car with a broken arm. eventually i took it off till i found a replacement

hahahaha GOOD luck find it though....it took me a year and a half to find one. i literally bought one a week ago

dealer wants like 185 for it....bought it from RGW on here for like 110 shipped and when i got it, i found out the black arms on the side were replaceable...
i will have to look and see if i have my OEM one still and i will sell you the arm by itself which the dealership WILL NOT DO

PM me and remind me

show a closer pic Tom so we can see how bulky it is.it looks ok from there but its ALSO on a black car which helps hide it....put that bulky one on a white or silver one and its a different story
