Aesthetic: Would you rather... (Sunroof deflector)

Would you rather spend 24 and get a cheapo universal ebay sunroof deflector that goes on with 3mm tape
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-Sunroo...e2b1b0&vxp=mtr



(Ebay description says 35.5, i tape measured the length of our sunroof from black weather strip to black weather strip, 34.5, kind of scared they sell 36.5 inch for the same price, would this be safer ?)






Spend under 70 bucks and get a clip on name brand one
http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/60A5736A0A0.aspx



Or spend 100 bones and get a name brand one with some extra functionality, and they are screw on i believe: They have these flaps that deflect the incoming wind into the cabin, reminds me of the old VW buggie windows, old fashioned a.c!

http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/60A1069A0A0.aspx


Basically
1. Which material would hold up the longest/cheapest to repair? (3mm tape vs clip on vs screw on

2. Which one looks the best/what would you get , 1st 2nd 3rd none

3. Best price/functionality/looks ratio in your own opinion (are they even worth it?)

4.Why are these questions so similar? Op you are dumb

Review: 24 dollar ebay cheapo special tape power

70 dollar name brand clip on, no extra functionality

100 dollar name brand, screw on, able to push wind in either the passenger or drivers side! great alternative to rolling down the windows!

Okay morgan how bout this .
Does your sunroof ever vibrate at speeds of 25~40 mph ? Mine used to shake and it was very annoying . This fixed it atleast .

Lots of dirt and water gets trapped in the corners of the reflector. Pass.

Meh I spent all my money elsewhere haha like building my own electronic exhaust cutout
Thanks 4 de input. I might get back to this when i have money. SO far i like the dual vent ones but i'm worried about quality since wind will be passing through and i like to drive over the speed limit i wonder if the air would break it
