Default QUALITY rainguards (56k beware)

EDIT - PICS POSTED

if anyone is interested... a company called AutoSeattle has just finished manufacturing their Weathertech rainguards for the 2IS 250/350. i had these on my last car... they worked/looked great. I went to their website to see if they had them for the 2IS yet, but they weren't listed. I emailed them and they responsed that they just finsihed designing them and posted them online... although the pic posted is not correct. anyway, these are high quality smoked and very see thru. They are machined to fit INSIDE the window channel giving a very clean look, unlike the ones that are double side taped to the outside window molding. I know these aren't for everyone... either you like em or you don't, but for those who do, here are the links. FRONT PAIR ONLY or 4pc FRONT AND REAR SET. company info - Auto Seattle 877-909-7599

These are the JDM ones installed on my car. So far no issues with noise or vibration at speed on the high way and they look factory installed I think it needs to have some tint on the side windows for them to look good.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks nice on your car. I like how the rainguard blends in with the car for the total integrated look.

I would like to get these but I'm worried about the install process. Are these very hard to install? How do you put them on? Any drilling? Please help a newb out, thanks a lot in advance.

Simple install - the front set just slide into the window channel and hold themselves in place. The rear set also slide into the window channel, but there is some adhesive tape (pre-applied) that help hold them into the channel. It took me 5 mins to install all 4.

the rainguards linked to at the beginning of this threat mentions that they are from Weathertech. If you go to the weathertech web site http://www.weathertech.com/store/veh...pt_choice_id=0

there are 2 versions, one dark and another light. I would use this since our visors don't extend to cover the whole window.

are these the same ones from Auto Seattle? Would these provide better coverage for the part of the window that the visor doesn't cover?
