Talking Sunroof Wind Deflector

I was thinking about installing one of these on my car since it doesn't come with one but I don't even know where to start with the searching.

Am I suppose to get a OEM sunroof wind deflector or a third-party one. Because I saw a few at Autozone and they are selling them $37 a piece and they are easy to install with adhesive foam tape. Here is a link to the one I was looking at: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...Auto+Ventshade

Should I go to Acura or get one from Autozone?

The one from Acura will be alot more expensive. I think you should save that money and put it towards something else.

i think they look like doodoo... but if youre using it for practical reasons i wouldnt imagine there's much difference in a generic one and acura's version...

I might sell mine for cheap. I need to take mine off and see if I can fix the paint where dirt has been sitting forever. If it's fixable I'll be taking mine off and have no use for it (I'd be willing to sell for a very reasonable price).

I like mine (OEM) but to each his own.....it's held on w/ 2 screws & clips, not tape. Lucked out and got it for $20 off a non running car on the lot where I bought the car.

I just took mine off. In my opinion they are poor designs. I very much prefer the built-in pop-up wind deflector. It was so great on my old 88 Legend Coupe.

i wouldnt trust it to be held on by tape, they thing catches alot of air. last thing you want is it flying off and hitting another car, plus you lose the deflector lol. just my two cents. i like the acura one, even tho it collects a lot of dirt.
