Looks like there is now a vent available for the 13-16 RDX!
Pictures & videos of them on a 2016 too!

I've had them on other cars (in Mich). What they do best is to allow heat to escape, the cabin to vent, & doesn't allow rain in. If you have the windows slightly open in high dust areas? You'll get some flow through the car which can put a layer of dust on everything inside the car. In those areas I'd open one window so that heat doesn't build up (as much) and prevents flow through the cabin.
I've gone so far as to measure temps with and w/o the windows open (not lower than the vents bottom edge). Windows closed = 130F inside on a hot summer day. Windows open = 10-15F higher than ambient. Makes a big difference on those hot summer days.
It works to remove heat yr round which is good. One down side is that in high humidity situations, the humidity inside the car gets real high too. So.. your a bit uncomfortable until the AC can pull it out and windows can fog just after you get in the car (body heat).
As for this brand.. I'd like to see them tinted darker and get rid of the logo. Both of those could be addressed by color sanding the logo then polishing (like removing the yellow out of headlights) and then tinting the underside w/35 or 20% tint. Lot of work though when it would be more preferable to just buy them that way. Since these are now out and the 13+ RDX is a good seller I'm sure in time there will be other offerings.
btw, The reason I like them tinted darkly is so that people can't see the windows are slightly open. No need to encourage theft. And in those driving situations where its too cold to have the window open.. but you want fresh air its nice to turn the heater on and lower the windows a bit. Heat pretty much flows out w/o cold air blowing directly in. Much like putting the sunroof in vent position.

I've had these visors on my wife's '16 RDX since 7/13/15. First person honestly. I had to call and email well visors numerous times to get them to make them. There's pictures in my build thread in the photo section. My wife and I both love them. Work perfect with no issues. I think the are tinted enough and even match my tint which is 15%. I have them on my '14 TL as well. The logo is not on the visors. They send you decal stickers if you wish to install. I left it off on both vehicles.
There is also the Weathertech window visors which are in-channel. Different style and more expensive.
Word of advice, keep checking back on their site as they only make small batches so coming across them can be hard.

No sorry. Well visors is made in small batches. Shouldn't have any trouble with getting the Weathertechs. It's a completely different design and personally doesn't flow with the body lines as nice.

What's with the price difference between this product for the RDX and other models? Generally, it looks like the ones with a chrome trim are a bit more expensive. I'd understand if it's a smaller batch production, but I'd think that there's more RDXs on the road than the NX200t.
RDX = $82.99
NX200t = $63.99

The well visors did not increase wind noise. They have brackets as well as tape and have held up great for almost two years on my TL now and the past 3 months on the RDX. I recommend them.
