window visor/deflector
received the AVS deflectors for my 11' RDX this past weekend and have them installed yesterday. similar to what i did before, i beefed up the 3M double sided tape in certain areas to fill some of the gaps. it's been raining all day today and no water seeping so far.
the AVS deflectors actually had one thing more superior than the weathertech ones i have for my TL, and that's the packaging. they have plastic wrapped on the outside of each deflector so they don't scratch against each other, and i simply pull them off once they're installed, scratch free. the weathertech ones on the other hand were scratched and with swirl marks even before they were installed

the ones i ordered from ebay were individually wrapped.. no scratches.. the tint color on them is just right.. not too dark.. i did double sticky near the mirror area just to make sure but other then that they fit really well.. for 22 bucks its a steal i cant complain 1 bit

nothing noticeable yet, i only driven it around town.. havent down highway or anything about 40.. my wife has been driving it more then me so i can ask her.. this weekend i will drive it and see if i notice anything
I'm actually not so much worried about wind but I hate how much water comes in the car even during a light sprinkle. It blows off the windshield directly into the car so even if it's not raining hard enough to get water in from the rain, it comes in from the glass. Same if I just use the washer fluid...wipers push it the edge and it goes right into the car instead of out, over, away, etc. Yeah, I'm a crybaby.
I will no longer need to stand out in front of the bar looking like a white trash POS. I'm going to keep some of my other bad habits just in case.

Marcus replied he should have more info next week, also talked to him about adjust endlinks he stated that its quite possible for fastline to make a set for us.. he didnt mention pricing but my guess is that its close to the tsx pricing if you look on Heeltoe.com
Because where I live sometimes that's the only time where the weather is cool enough to go windows down. lol I'm not talking about a downpour or anything, but even a light misting where it normally wouldn't get in the car still sucks because of the way it blows off the windshield.

highway noise is tame.. did 75 felt quieter even with the windows down you dont get that thundering sound from the back (not sure if you know what i mean) window rattle shake is better too which happens with the window is half way dow.. cant say for rain since it hasnt rained yet.. appearance has deff grown on me too =)
nice thanks for the quick reply!
what about when it's fully up? is there any additional noises from wind leakage? etc... I mean how does it compare when it's fully closed compared to stock?
and ya, i know what you mean about the thundering repetitive noise at the back so that's good to know

i honestly am not sure if it got quieter with windows up.. ive only driven on the highway with them down cause its been warm out
i know when the windows were down i didnt hear any whistling sounds or anything odd at the time
